#1 Oh go ahead. Please.
Give our Patriot missiles a chance to knock your silly scuds out of the air and give us a cassi belli.

Please.

I dare ya.

I double dare ya.

Pussy.

#2 Missile manufacture has been keeping the country functioning. This is exactly the type news Japan needs. This is why they've put up a second much more capable recon satellite documneting these locations and other critical points. I suspect Japan is moving much more quickly in a quiet fashion than anyone realizes. This time I don't think they'll occupy, just destroy and be done with it. Too bad, your populace has already suffered considerably.

#3 You'd think that North Korea's principal sponsor, those ever-lovin' Chinese Mardarins, would have reined in this sort of bellicose activity. How fitting that their lack of restraint will most likely lead to a nuclear-armed Japan. Few things could be more fitting.

#4 Three mag-lev launchers on the moon could take out the entire country of North Korea without a single nuke warhead being used. We really, REALLY need to go back to the moon, and stay there. Both China and NK would be totally screwed, and both the house of Saud and the sh$%%y bunch of mullahs in Iran would see hundreds of heads explode.

High ground.

#6 A permanent moon base is justified solely by the critical need to counteract an unexpected asteroid strike's adverse consequences upon humanity's continuation. The military benefits are just so much exceptionally tasty and ultra-delicious icing on the cake.

#7 I like Zen's ideas too.
But also once a real prescence is established and indutry and infrastructure put in place, further launches become cheaper and easier.
You could launch any damn thing from the moon with very little fuel.
Maybe come back with a big hunk of Nickel or something else useful.

#8 It is just about time to pull Kim Jong-Mentally_ill's chain permanently. He has chewed through the restraining straps.

#9 The launch structures and support facilities (e.g. fuel tanks) will last about 1 hour. The missile storage facilities, 1 hour 10 minutes.
