From GlobalSecurity.org (preferred by veterans over the FAS site):

Taep'o-dong 2 (TD-2)

Excerpt:
The Taep'o-dong-2 (TD-2) is said to be a two or three stage missile. North Korea has given various names to the Taep'o-dong missile, such as No-dong-3, Hwasong (Mars)-2 and Moksong (Jupiter)-2. Over time, the estimated range has grown substantially. It was initially estimated to have a range of 4,000 km, but is currently estimated to have a range of up to 15,000 km. The throw weight is variously estimated as between a few hundred kilograms to 1,000 kg, depending on the range.


Follow the link above and read further down the page for information (older info from 1998, regarding the estimated range of the missile back then) sourced to our Secretary of Defense.

Wouldn't it be great if it blew up on the launch pad??

That would really bum out the DUmmies and the KOSanostra, it'd probably ruin their Sunday, that their Dear Leader met with failure...
