Damn it I just got here two day ago and the human chia pet has to go and launch a missile. Well we may have to open up a can on the little megalomaniac.

What is known at this moment (mid morning US East Coast time Sunday):

The rocket on the pad in Musudan-ri, Hwadae County, North Korea is a Taepodong-2.

It has a heighth of 35 meters. At the highest diameter (lower stage booster rocket), it is 2.2 meters in width.

It therefore has a capacity neary 40% MORE than the Taepodong which was launched from there, right smack over Japan, in 1998.M/b> This is know from shadow interpretaton from satellite photos taken of the missile just recently by private firms.

"Some consider the sun to be a relatively heavy power supply."

Yes, but they are not our satellite---we are theirs.

I'll admit, I don't understand,offhand, why there would be weight limits on satellites, but I believe that is what I read somewhere.

When it's the 1st time isn't it just "fueling"?

Who says it's the first time it has been fueled? It hasn't flown, but that does not necessarily mean it has never been fueled before...

As somebody who started working on missiles in 1971, "I" say it's never been fueled before?

That's unnecessarily tough on the seals and parts, and would likely require expensive and timely rebuilding.

Pressure tests and leak checks are NOT done with fuel.
