To hide evidence of radioactive payload?

If had been radioactive we would have measured that long before it got onto the rocket.

Wonder if we did.
You know the dude in the WH would do a happy dance if we got EMP’d.
To: Black Agnes
EMP is an Internet sensation and not something anyone in the DoD cares about. EMP isn’t even in our weapons inventory.

I lost the pool. I was betting it would never even clear the gantry.
Kim, if you're going to threaten us, you at least have to give us something to shoot down.

Some recovered rocket debris:
Just look at all the rivets on that one piece.
Lots of added weight.

Not just rivets, but raised rivets at that. So weight AND drag.
To: tanknetter
Only had to boost the payload to 311 miles altitude. Did so successfully.

South Korea's navy detected a rain of fragments falling into the sea and then a sooner-than-expected disappearance of the rocket from their radar, suggesting a possible failure. News outlets working in real time jumped on the idea. But it quickly proved wrong.How was it proved wrong?

The payload is currently orbiting in a LEO.
To: StormEye
Compare that to the welds on the
Thor-Agena rocket at the USAF Museum in Dayton.
