How convenient for a Friday. /sarc
We missed the new moon by a week.
I wonder what Japan will do about this?
It appears that mission control for the NK missile system is linked to the Control-LEFT media.
Just another diversion for Friday.
The Japan Coast Guard issued a navigation warning at 11:52 pm today.

North Korean missile flew for about 45 minutes, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga says. The time indicates it could be another ICBM. Details soon.

Looks like maybe some of us are right, America, and Japan since it was near them, does not have the ability to shoot it down. That scares me! Looks like the first one with a nuke will hit out shores. That really scares me!!!!!
North Korea has test-fired another ballistic missile, the Japanese and South Korean governments say, just weeks after the reclusive country carried out its first test of an intercontinental ballistic missile. (more)
The missile was launched at 11:11 p.m. local time on Friday from Jagang Province in North Korea's northern region, according to South Korea's military. The Japanese government and the U.S. military also confirmed the launch.
There was no immediate word on the type of missile, whether it was successful, or how far it flew.
North Korea had been expected to launch a missile in the near future after satellite imagery showed that fueling equipment and trucks were moved to a launch pad. It was not immediately clear if Friday's test - which took place at an unusual time of day - was carried out from that location.
Both Japan and South Korea were planning to hold emergency meetings shortly.
We're working to gather more information.
Friday's test follows months of escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula, fueled by North Korea's missile tests and its advancing nuclear weapons program, as well as U.S. military exercises and statements by President Trump.

but Congress passed a veto proof Sanctions bill. Should that have stopped them?
Has the Japanese Spokesperson apologized for getting in the way yet?
45 min flight time...the one on July 4th was 37 min
I’m not an engineer, but I would assume that the progress in this sort of thing starts to become - I don’t know the right word - exponential after a while?
They’ve gotten the damn things off the ground and 600 miles out to sea. How long before it can go 2000 miles?
And Japan does nothing but pick lint from its belly button.
right now easily...
they fire the missile almost straight up in the tests...if they would fire them at a normal launch angle 4000 miles or more
