Where's the Kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering Kaboom!

Looks like the NoKo missile launch was a success. Was hit by the obvious earlier today -- of course we would not try to hit it, we need to see what level of technology they have... DOH! From New Zealand Channel 3:

North Korean rocket passes over Japan without incident
North Korea defiantly carried out a provocative rocket launch Sunday that the US, Japan and other nations suspect was a cover for a test of its long-range missile technology.

Liftoff took place at 11:30am (0230GMT) Sunday from the coastal Musudan-ri launch pad in northeastern North Korea, the South Korean government said. In Washington, the State Department also confirmed the launch.

The rocket flew over Japan and landed in the Pacific Ocean, the Japanese broadcaster NHK said, citing its government.

The world just got a bit more interesting. Their nuclear bomb was a fizzle but it did work. Give them another ten years (and another xyzzy Jong Ill) and they will be dangerous. Still sucks to be one of their citizens though: Posted by DaveH at April 4, 2009 9:01 PM | TrackBack
