[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

If true, the fact that this thing didn't fall over on the launch pad and spin around in circles until it fizzled out means that their missile-guidance technology is getting better.

Don't doubt that this technology didn't came from the ChiComs, which came from Slick Willy Clinton and his friends at Space Systems/Loral.

Iranian VIPs in North Korea today in the viewing launch stands at Musudanri Village must be pleased. I would imagine they are in shuttle busses and limousines back to their hotels in Pyongyang as we speak (three more hours of sunlight). There will be a long of Kaesong ginseng wine broken out tonight in P-town. Maybe even some kipmujong North Korean "dancing girls" and "party hostesses" will be pressed into extra "service" tonight before the Iranian delegation heads back to Teheran in the next few days with all the telemetry and data.
