4 have been launched. The ICBM was shot down by our 747 laser ship.

The only working aircraft laser is in a C-130. The 747 has problems.

The Korean missile was knocked out by a space based weapon.

Far more plausible that the North Korean engineers simply farked up the
design. Never ascribe to mendacity that which can be explained by
incompetence.

Now that is possible Walt, but just how often does the US have a
proven, well used design fail in flight....more often than you might
be aware methinks.


If it been flying for a while the design is typically proven. It's usually
improper maintainenece that brings them down.

I heard that the same guy who designed the kia Sadon'ta did
the rockets. No wonder they failed!
