I imagine Kim Jong-il waking up, gazing at the elaborate breakfast prepared for him and then looking at the naked young girl who is by his side. He feels the nice silk sheets of his luxurious bed. He might even have a sip of champaigne in the morning (the world's finest brand only)
And, in his infinite lack of humanity, his only thought is, "how can I hold on to this longer?"

Yeah - when you are trying to achieve orbit, you can't just go straight up - you want to reach a high altitude but you have to have a high enough velocity when you get there in order to maintain orbit.
The technology for launch systems and missile systems aren't unrelated; Soviet and US launch systems came right out of their respective missile programs. Whether you are launching a missile or a space-destined payload, your rocket has to be able to go downrange a great deal. (Ballistic missiles only ever achieve sub-orbital flight, while a launch vehicle aims to put an object into Earth orbit at least.) There's nothing necessarily provocative about NK missiles going towards the Pacific. It's not like trying to see how far you can spit. This is just how you develop the technology - on the other hand, there is a question of whether NK should possess such technology. I can't see Kim Jong Il wanting launch systems for anything other than ultimately military roles.

I wish it were a bomb just so we could finally invade the damn shithole.

Everyone is afraid because of their history.. if only N.Korea would just say 'yes' or 'no'.

Oh boy, all the scary shit going on again.
First, i think you guys are really overestimating the leader's power, even in a very strict dictatorial system. A country is never led by 1 guy even if he's always in the front. It's ruled by the party which is made of lots of people. So seriously, Kim Jong-il can desire to nuke whoever he likes (or doesn't like actually) but it's far from happening. And everyone there knows attacking someone would mean suicide.
Second, what's wrong with any country launching a satellite or detaining missiles? And it's a very big difference between launching a satellite and getting a balistic missile. The first one is a lot easier.
And third, why are you demonizing the north korean people? You think they are no longer humans because they are living there? That your life is more important than theirs just because you're from a more advanced country? They are living, loving, having sex, eating, thinking, working, having all kind of dramas, hoping, wishing, doing sport, reading. Just like you.

they aren't worrying that it's a nuke. they are worried that this is simply another thinly-disguised test for the north korean icbm program.
if you think about it, what kind of satellite is n. korea gonna launch anyways. Science or telecommunications initiative.... i don't think so.
You also have to look at it from n. korea's neighbours POV. We might feel safe sitting here in north america, but icbm/irbms in the hands of an unstable dictator like kim jong il is surely something to be apprehensive about if you're japanese, for example.

Why not? You think they have no communication systems? No research programs?
And as i said, it's a big difference between launching a satellite (having the missile to launch it) and testing an ICBM.
Ah come on, why do they need icbms for japan or SK? They can throw a nuke there even by airplane.

I just find it strange to invest in space exploration research, when your citizenry is starving, or telecom sats when your country's media is completely state-controlled...
and I'm pretty sure sk and japan are more than capable of intercepting soviet-era bombers.

Is it just me or is there really an influx of subpar posts coming from newbies that probably joined TL after they saw that we owned the other foreign-based SC fan sites..?

Bombers can easily be intercepted, i doubt Japan would just let Kim fly a plane right in the middle of Tokyo. not to mention bombers cost SIGNIFICANTLY more than ICBM. probably many times cheaper

they r scared of every1 being against them and they r just showing off their powers to keep ppl at bay... it's the equivalent of throwing a rock near dogs to keep them from killing u.... cept in this case it's ICBM rocks... lols

Cell phones are actually illegal in North Korea.

Well, it's just been announced on KBS (Korean Broadcast Station) that it's a satellite, not a missle, but the technology for N.Korea to bomb even Hawaii is now possible. Really, N.Korea needs to open up like China, because it's not going to help in my country's unification ;___;

i was talking with this random korean restaurant owner today, and he mentioned the missile launch, and I asked him what he thought about it.
he said something similar to 'the country is a circus and it is run by a clown'
I thought this was pretty cool. His parents were from North Korea too.

What an incredible waste of money just to launch a pile of junk into the sea.
Japan should fish it up and mail it back to North Korea just to spite them.
