North Korea's Kim Jong Un hails engine test as 'new birth' for rocket industry: KCNA
Rocket engines are easily re-purposed for use in missiles.
Outside observers say that the nuclear-armed Pyongyang's space programme is a fig leaf for weapons tests.
"The development and completion of a new-type high-thrust engine would help consolidate the scientific and technological foundation to match the world-level satellite delivery capability in the field of outer space development," KCNA reported.
"The leader (Kim) noted that the success made in the current test marked a great event of historic significance as it declared a new birth of the Juche-based rocket industry." On Saturday, the US and China pledged to work together to address the threat posed by North Korea's nuclear programme.

Glorious leader! Thank you for this great break-thru technology. He comes from a long line of supermen. His super-humanism shines across his great country. His people receives his warm rays so they don’t need much food or clothing. And they can take a beating too, that’s why they are sent to these camps - its really for their benefit.

Well his Daddy was the best golfer in the world!
On his first ever trip to the golf course, he shot 38-under par, including 5 hole-in-ones! This is reported by the government controlled media. He routinely shoots 3 or 4 hole-in-ones every time out.

I average 2-3 holes in one per round, so I guess it’s possible someone gets 3-4.

I share that opinion. But I would add one step to this. They shoot one up, we shoot it down and now we get a free shot. If they want to shoot it down, great. If they won’t or they can’t too freaking bad. They started it.
This should be Israel’s response to Iran and any country there that wants to shoot missiles at Israel.
