That project had to have a long name to get CHAMP
He must kill them all to make sure he gets the right ones?
Even if we didn’t do it, that won’t stop Kim the ill from using anti-aircraft guns to eliminate two or three of his engineers.
“If we did, I’m sure Senaturd Juan McCainez would’ve revealed it by now.”
LOL
You nailed it, first post.
Was just, you know, observing the launch.
i believe depending on how they are tuned whether you can see them or not, less there's particulate or something in the air ranging beams?
At least nobody blamed the Russians!
Not very likely...a better bet is that a break neck development schedule for the launch to coincide with the Day of the Sun celebration, the lack of competent engineers (engineers on previous failed missile launches were either sent to gulags or executed), the lack of precision manufacturing and special materials and micromanaging of the project by a lunatic all contributed
If not how would it be pulled off?
That didn’t even cross my mind. We have them. Wow.
They're all over anyone - State Dept, WH, Pentagon, AF - to admit that we did or didn't cook/hack that missile.
Do they really expect a straight answer? Why would anyone say HOW or even IF we had a hand in it?
Screw the public's "right to know". It's much better it remains a mystery...
I say Trump should make the world stand still in North Korea. Knock out their electric power and computers with a high altitude Nuke and say it was a test gone wrong. No power at all. All radios and Tvs out—all major radars our, a show of what we can do with electronics alone—and a few stealth planes or drones. Turn em back to the 19th Century for a while. That would send a message! Next stop—Iran.
Have you ever seen the picture of North Korea taken at night from a satellite? I’d say 98 percent of the country is without electricity. It is a stark reminder of how terrible the infrastructure actually is. Even in Pyongyang there are daily rolling blackouts. It would take very little to completely shut down their electrical grid, such as it is.
All big rockets have a destruct command.
If the rocket/missile goes off the intended course, the range safety officer pushes the button and the destruct command is sent to the missile. This prevents the thing from going off course and accidentally hitting something valuable you do not want destroyed.
The big question is how hard is it to find out this command and send it to the missile?
Did the missile go off course or did it explode? If it went off course, it could have been done through a computer hack. If it exploded, it could have been hit with something we have to knock out missiles. Laser? Rail gun? Upgraded SM-2 surface-to-air missile?
And all high school students who pass Algebra II, lest they grow up to be traitors.
