N. Korea's missile launch appears to have failed
2016/05/31 09:39
SEOUL, May 31 (Yonhap) -- North Korea launched a missile from its east coast in the early morning of Tuesday, but the launch appears to have failed, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.
"North Korea attempted to launch an unidentified missile from the region near Wonsan at around 5:20 a.m., but it is presumed to have been unsuccessful," the JCS said in a brief text message.
The military is studying details of the launch and is maintaining a high level of combat preparedness, the JCS said.
Sources said the launched missile could be a Musudan intermediate-range ballistic missile. Pyongyang fired off three Musudan missiles in April, which all ended in failure.

If this is a Musudan missile, the missile's test launch has failed third time in a row.

They keep failing because they keep killing their engineers.
Kill off the top tier, 2nd and 3rd string most likely wont do any better.

Well, I remember the Vanguard! My Dad worked for the NACA(NASA) during WWll, so our family kept a close eye on all things NASA. All my 3-ring binders in school were my Dad’s old ones from NACA. They all said “TOP SECRET” on their covers. He translated a lot of stuff that spies stole from the Germans.

The Nork missile couldn’t hit the broad side of a barge. ;-)

Don’t get too excited. How many rockets failed before Von Braun got it right? In aerospace every failure leads to the finished product.

By this point in time, there probably not a whole lot of engineers left. The progressive list of failures and probable failures have made engineer, physicists, technicians, etc. suicide squad assignments.

I wonder if the NorKs will describe it as successful.
Will Un surround himself with BIG hatted military guys as he announces the successful launch?
