A few hours out now, and I have to say: The DPRK Taepodong-2 ICBM launch seems to have been a success, i.e. it seems they at least reached the "danger zones" both in the Sea of Japan for first stage reentry and landing (splashdown), and then Pacific Ocean for second stage reentry and landing (splashdown) and this advances them quite a ways forward compared to their Taepdong-2 launch (failure) of 2006 and the Taepodong-1 launch of 1998. Bottom line: They are getting better and better and getting closer and closer to the continential US, plus they can start miniaturizing nukes to place in the payload.

Very serious day. VERY SERIOUS.
