I didn’t fail on the launch pad but as in the other two times, in the second or third stage.

Which I understand is a good EMP test.

Ruh Roh, when it comes to rockets, looks like Supreme Leader Jong-Un can’t get it up

Rocket scientists families will not be fed until morale improves

I would hope someone got video footage of that. All that fuel should have made a pretty nice flare.

Mmmm, any unscheduled US military 747's flying at altitude just outside of PRNK airspace by any chance?

I was wondering if the pilot survived.

Did it fail or were the Japanese having target practice?

They’re saying the S. Koreans should have footage of it and we should be seeing it in the near future.

I don't think the US is capable of creating a program that was a complete unworkable failure, like the Airborne Laser, as a cover for an identical program that works.

Yep, they’ll keep trying, regardless, provided they have funds.

I’d love that to be true. But I think the thing fell apart on its own.

Dont forget, it took us 20 some odd tried before we got it right. As Barney Fife would say, “Nip it..nip it in the bud!

We do have military capabilities/assets that are not publicly discussed.

Maybe the ABL wasn't really cancelled after all? Just a head-fake by the clever One?

Now the rocket has something in common with Obama’s presidency, both epic failures

They should call it the "Barak-et"

ABC reporting the rocket has “failed”.

Failed or not, Barry will bow and send shiploads of food and praise NK...watch.
