re: #194 Kosh’s Shadow

OT, but here’s some more information on the North Korean missile:
North Korean Launch Fails to Put Anything Into Orbit
It was a 3-stage rocket, and apparently, the 2nd stage either didn’t fire or didn’t fire long enough; the 3rd stage never fired, “depriving U.S. intelligence agencies from assessing performance of the vehicle’s third stage”.

So what your saying is that a nation that can’t feed it’s people sucks at high tech?
