[Two Thumbs]

I'm just hearing this. Their rocket breaks up during the FIRST stage.

Ah, centrally planned societies are so awesome!

Can we send them more of our taxpayer money please?

yeah, well. If at first you don't succeed....


And keep in mind, they are bff's with Iran, so whatever they have, Iran will get.

People there are starving, and they are using the little resources they have to launch rockets.....or at least try to launch rockets...it is heart breaking to see all the suffering as a result of some dictator

Why are we even worried about this country again? Give them a nuclear warhead, they will probably detonate it on themselves. Problem solved.

Unfortunately for them they didn't have Clinton to fall back on like China did...

Clinton and Chinese Missiles

Chinese Army Gets U.S. Missile Technology for Money


A newly released document from the U.S. State Department reveals that the most successful Chinese espionage operation in recent history occurred during the Clinton administration.

The document accuses Hughes Space and Communications Company of violating U.S. national security 123 times by knowingly sending detailed missile and space technology directly to the Chinese army.

According to the State Department, the most serious violations occurred when Hughes gave the Chinese army information that supported its analyses of the investigation of the January 1995 failure of the launch of a China Long March 2E (LM-2E) rocket carrying the Hughes-manufactured ASTAR II commercial communications satellite.

On Jan. 26, 1995, approximately 52 seconds into flight, a Chinese LM-2E carrying the Hughes APSTAR II communications satellite failed. This was the LM-2E's second failure. The first failure of the LM-2E in December 1992 involved an attempted launch of the Hughes OPTUS B-2 commercial communications satellite

Clinton Overrules Secretary of State

The alleged improper export by Hughes of satellite technology was cited as a key reason when Clinton's secretary of state, Warren Christopher, rejected a plan to give the Commerce Department full authority to control satellite exports.

According to a Sept. 22, 1995, memorandum, Christopher rejected plans to give Commerce the authority to approve satellite exports after an interagency study noted that "significant" military and intelligence capabilities could be lost.

The memorandum stated the Pentagon and U.S. intelligence agencies strongly opposed the policy change because Hughes exported two satellites with sensitive cryptographic technology without first getting a State Department munitions license. Cryptographic technology is used to scramble communications sent to satellites to prevent unauthorized access.

President Clinton, who transferred the power to regulate sensitive satellites to Commerce, under Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, ultimately overruled Christopher.

Clinton's transfer allowed the Chinese army to acquire advanced U.S. technology for military purposes. Hughes satellites currently provide the Chinese army with secure communications that are invulnerable to earth combat and highly accurate all-weather navigation for strike bombers and missiles

The Clinton legacy for the 21st century is a new arms race.

So the operation was a success?

Kim Jong Junior's first major failure. Good way to start out as Whackadoodle Dictator.

I think it's real daveman.

Nope. The missile is CGI. And if it were real, that guy would be dead.

Look at the lighting. The missile is lit more brightly than the guy and the gantry.

Fake as hell.​

He's in a building. And the refraction of the tinted window would give a differential in brightness.

You wouldn't put a building with a window right next to the launch pad. If the rocket blows up at launch, everyone in the building is dead.

That may well be the case.
