| N. Korea Missle was WAY out of Control |

| Would've been great if they hit their own capital. It spun out of control seconds after it was launched and the North Koreans never had operational control of the missile, the official said. It failed so quickly, the official added, that the United States was never able to ascertain in what direction it was headed. |

| #6 This sounds a lot like my first scratch built rocket launch when I was 10. |

| #5 Follow other thread for a map of a 45 degree inclination launch: Build-up to the TaepÂ’o-dong-2C/3 Satellite Launch Attempt If it is launched to place a satellite into earth orbit it will fly due east at approximately 41 degrees inclination out of the Musudan-ri (No-dong/TaepÂ’o-dong) launch site. The trajectory ground track would head east and south towards the mid pacific equatorial crossing of roughly 180-160 degrees West or 180-200 degrees east. This is based on the TaepÂ’o-dong-1 three stage launch precursor experience. This would, however, place the vehicle's trajectory nowhere near Alaska or California ABM facilities but closer to the Hawaiian Islands and Kwajalein Atoll. |

| #3 That Hawaiian trajectory was most likely pulled out of their ass, unless some Nork shared the info with some spy. |
