The ONLY consolation we have is the fact that it was a dud. Very small consolation, IMHO.
I think we ought to, if possible, shoot the next one down.

This debris is apparently from their 1998 satellite launch attempt.

The ONLY consolation we have is the fact that it was a dud. Or a dummy. You usually don't use live warheads in tests. Especially not live nukes, but conventional or CBW warheads either. A CBW warhead might be more frajile than an HE or nuke one, so only getting a fragment wouldn't be so surprising.
