Oh crap... here we go
Stardate 6019.45
North Korea has launched 3 missilesof an unconfirmed type, all of which failed and landed in the Sea of Japan. They are going against the mandate of the international community, and surely, the US will respond... The missiles seem to be a short range SCUD, a mid range Rodong and a long range Taepodong-2.
So what now?
UPDATE: They have fired 7 missiles now, all shorter range except the single Taepodong-2, which blew up shortly after launch. Everyone seems to be condemning these tests, except China, who is telling the international community to not be rash.
Some people think it is a purely symbolic test, stealing the limelight away from the July 4th celebrations, and NASA's shuttle launch.
