It's *far* more likely that their ICBM was a p.o.s. and it fell apart like the Scud missiles in the first Gulf War. I tend to agree,but I can see an excellent excuse for a field exercise of a directed beam weapon. Kill quite a few birds with a single stone. I doubt it, but honestly, wouldn't rule it out. I just think it's more likely they screwed up. Jeff -- Greg D. Moore http://greenmountainsoftware.wordpress.com/ CEO QuiCR: Quick, Crowdsourced Responses. http://www.quicr.net |

Multistage rockets are not easy to get right. Multistage rockets are extremely easy to get wrong. And the first shot to orbit wasn't quick for anyone. If you haven't got enough resources even to keep your people from starving this won't get easier. But they will manage it sooner or later. But then they still only will have a very fragile launcher (not an ICBM at all) with too less payload to be any threat and until they have solved that, they'll be starved for good.
