North Korea said Wednesday that the fuelling of a long-range rocket is under way, ahead of the launch scheduled for later this week despite international protests.

"We are injecting fuel as we speak. It has started," Paek Chang-Ho, director of the satellite control centre on the outskirts of the capital Pyongyang, told visiting foreign journalists.

Why does all footage of NK science projects look like the villains in a James Bond film?

Seal Team 6 killed 0sama after Leon Panetta gave them the go ahead. 0bama might have technically authorized it, but would have preferred to see his fellow Muslim stay in hiding, watch porn, and serve ‘Allah’.

I don’t think Aegis or Patriot can hit a missile in boost phase...I could be wrong, but thats my understanding.

Wouldn't it be interesting if the US was able to place stealthy nuke-powered drones, armed with SM-3 AEGIS BMD interceptors, flying randomized lazy 8's at extreme altitude over the ocean near the battle theater? Of course, they'd need to be networked and heavily encrypted - communicating infrequently and in bursts at "randomized/synced" frequencies, but with a bit of AI built in, in case the network was jammed.

Then have a fleet of not-so stealthy decoys, that we let the enemy "discover" and then allow them to "find" an exploit that they believe would take out the drones...

Any way, if I was running the show...

You can, but it’s a very arduous process where the volatile and corrosive fuel has to be completely “scrubbed” from the system. While technically possible, it’s very unlikely.
