Korean missile ?

If they launched a satellite, why don't we just use the shuttle to retrieve it?

1. That was sorta the plot premise in You Only Live Twice. Remember?

2. hmmm

that would be a good question if it were the satellite that people were concerned about and if it were the satellite that people were concerned with it would be much easier to just shoot it down. Unfortunately, the thing that is of concern is that the satellite launch was a cover for a ballistic missile test.

3. But, if it is a satellite, why can't they have one in orbit? n/t

4. Because they are not 'team players?' n/t

5. The obvious answer is, they cannot be trusted

We have the technology to limit their capabilities in space That could be used to sway them to stop their nuclear ambitions.

6. Cause No Sooner Did It Get Up Then It Was On Its Way Down

Maybe we shoulda sent Superman overhead...he could have grabbed it and dropped on bin Laden...just like how it would work in the "perfect world".

With all the junk circling...



You try finding it.

So we're getting all hyperventilated about one missile? All President Obama should do is send a message to Pyongyang...tell them to look off their coast...then surface of our latest subs...loaded to the gills with ICBMs....then dare them to launch another one.
