I think it was just in the past two days that NK said they were going to fire it, and Japan said it was going to shoot it down if they did (and the assumption is that it would be in/over Japan’s territorial waters).

NK-1
Japan-0

Basically a big Estes model rocket.

Maybe it's all he can afford.

NK might have said they were launching a “satellite”, not a missile.

I read that as well. My question is what do they even need a satellite for ?

Thanks.

I appreciated the lengthy and detailed explanation given at that site. It really proved to me that the launch was a failure.

Why is 'missile' in quotes in the title? I doubt it was a Volkswagen.

Depends on what you mean by "Volkswagen".

I'm betting it's more than an arm and a leg.

“Is this a message to the GOP candidates......”

It’s another one of Jeb’s “acts of love.”

Beats me. I just assume they are lying when they say they are launching satellites.

a missile tends to be guided by definition, while a rocket is not by definition

And why would Japan even think of doing that?
