N. Korean leadership ordered its citizen to raise their flag and listen to their (government) communique from TV in the evening, according to Sankei Shimbun (of Japan), quoting Japanese government sources.

Questtion was asked: Assuming they did fuel it, how long can it stay in that condition?

Maybe HipShot can answer that question, it IS his field, after all....or was before he retired. My observation might be to go back to the early days of the US Space Program, say Mercury or Geminii. How long did they let those birds sit on the pad before scrubbing a mission. I recall that one of them was forced to go to the bathroom in his suit rather than break him out of the capsule to find a facility. That bird flew, too. I guess it was Sheppherd and after he "went" they lit the candle!

It's probably already too late, assuming they were fueled and ready to go at 1am est last night. Upthread the time-window was listed as 48 hrs but who knows how nk enginering works with rocket tanks. The only thing we know for sure is that some nk engineers are now very nervous. LOL.

They've got about another 24 hours to work with if they finished fueling at 2pm their time yesterday.

Thanks, good find. I am listening to Drudge and he mentioned that 'the wires have gone quiet about this'. I think the Chosun paper mentioned that the weather was bad for a launce today. But, if they are considering suicide, I wonder if the wx bothers them?

I read somewhere that they have 48 hours from the time they fuel the thing until the time when the acidic fuel begins to degrade the missile...... don't know how fast or how severely that problem develops but they may not have many more hours to decide to launch it or else risk catastrophe when they do try to launch it and it blows up. Would be NICE if we had some way of making it blow up for them..........

I mean the test would be a pretty big step by them but it isn't going to endanger America yet.

Aw, heck, I was just following everything else - trying to have fun. My lead-shielded bomb shelter has plenty of water and beer and I have a friend who delivers pizza to me.

It's All Good. We watch out for each other, y'know.

Now help me out with my ROSES!

"These systems are not at the point where they can stop every inbound missile. The thing is, they still provide a deterrent against launching attacks – because a country that does decide to launch missiles at the United States or any of its allies protected by a missile defense shield will not know which of its missiles will fail to reach their targets."

SO LET'S ROLL! First strike these psychopaths and teach them about Forward Defense. They are in Stone Age already, so a few nukes won't hurt.

A couple of SLBM and cruisers with low-medium yield, and Pyongyang will be inhabitable before Bush leaves office.

LET'S ROLL!
