(Just a little Fortune Telling)

In unrelated news to the Missile Failures the North Korean Press announced the unfortunate deaths of two of it's most prominant Rocket Scientists in two different automobile accidents.

May have broken up after launch. I hope we helped but we'll never know for sure.

Seems to me that the two SCUDS may have been bait to see what we would do.
Very curious that the third "failed" in flight?
Maybe we did a bit of testing too?

Cordially,
