Yep.
This is getting very tiring.
Such international outlaws. I hope the Chia Pet gets what is coming to him over all this.
Changing subject.......
Well, time for a little break, and some GOOD news out of Japan (today) for a change (to soothe the soul, albeit briefly):

What are the odds that this thing will actually go into orbit? I’d guess about 10-1 against.

So.....
If on its ballistic trajectory the N.Korean missle approaches Japanese air space in a threatening manner...
Japan can use it as a practice target for its Aegis or Patriot missle batteries?
This could get real interesting.....

I don’t think it went into orbit.
It went up in the air and fell into the ocean lol

A ballistic missile is on an orbit that just happens to intersect the surface of the earth at two places, “launch” and “impact” points. In order to get credit for “going into orbit” I think you have to complete 360 degrees around the center of the earth after deployment. Then you’ve at least achieved one “orbit”.

Gotcha.
I think we can all agree that it’s not up in space right now.. as the North Koreans attest.
They say it’s up in space playing music to honor their
“Dear Leader” LOL
To: ConservativeMan55
My wager was ten to one against achieving orbit. Even if that was their intention, which isn't clear. I wonder how the Iranian buying commission is taking all this. I think you need three stages to hit America from Iran, so failure to separate is really bad.
