I want one of those hats.

BOOM!

Glad it didn't get far, although I am interested in seeing the trajectory plot and debris field impact area.
-
Like as in hitler's "I said glass of juice, not gas the jews!" thing?
-
Another great success! Our Dear Leader has again shown how the people of Korea can show the imperial world our might! After the launch of our most powerful rocket, it immediately returned to Earth so the American devils would not have a chance to intercept it and thus steal our technology!

I was under the impression that none of these rockets have a satellite on them and they are testing some type of re-entry vehicle. Like the North Koreans are not trying to get a satellite into space.
-
They should just tie a rope to the next one they test. Tie the other end of rope to a cinder block and then they can at least use it as a buoy when hit's the water instead of the statosphere.
-
Maybe they should outsource their rocket program to South Korea. At least then they would be covered by a 100,000 mile warranty.

Why? You thinking something mighta "disrupted" it? :)

If it just so happened to be pointed east instead of west...... well in that case, I wouldn't be shocked to learn that something happened to conveniently intercept its flight path.
You know how those things work ;).

Why would it be facing west? So its debris would land in China? Look at a map. Why pull things from your nether region? The flightpath for the rocket has been known for weeks.

Er... Haha. :lol
NK presented an intended flight path, however some real rocket scientists analyzed the proposed path and determined it could not possibly result in the orbit NK claimed to want for its payload.
Also, these things go wherever the heck they want when things go wrong, so the flight path could give a hint as to how early it went bad. Media reports state that the rocket failed WEST of South Korea, indicating it was launched south-southwest, not southeast or east like the last couple of big rockets they've launched. If the missile (rocket, whatever) went stupid early on and it looked like it might overfly China, then it is possible a self-destruct was triggered.
Having lived in SK for a bit over a year and seen the NK's best game, my initial assumption is that nothing at all went right other than it didn't blow up on the launchpad. Launch, trajectory guidance, and eventual breakup before it even cleared the Korean Peninsula, were probably all FUBAR from the beginning. The invited visitors weren't even subjected to the merest hint of clean-room procedures when taken to go look at the thing, so the whole system top to bottom was likely fatally contaminated with dust or other contaminants that we've known for decades will cause these things to fail...
The best part is that the cost of that little PR stunt could have fed and kept warm almost the whole country for a few winters.

Its identical to soviet military uniform.

The UN-Leader.
He so ronery.

Sighs :bhead Not to any of you, just everything.

So this was a 3 stage Missile that eventually will be a roll out, fuel up, and launch ICBM carrying a nuclear payload that will threaten us. We blew up a lot of rockets when we got started, the Russians even more. The real problem is NK and Iran are working in tandem to have a 100% in house Industrial capability for nuclear weapon delivery. Eventually they are going to get it right.
