  1. In my recollection, the previous missile test was a failure too. This is beginning to sound like more than design failure — one wonders if we have learned how to cause the missiles to fail early in the launch process. I hope that is so, and I hope Kim knows it is so. That should sound a cautionary note somewhere in his brain. Or perhaps better yet, he does not know, and he’ll begin to get mad at his military and scientific staff and exact revenge on them. That would be a win for the world.

  2. Unless their system is infected with a Stuxnet virus, they can learn from their “failures” and improve.

    Budget, Time, Quality

    This is often the tradeoff.

    They seem squeezed on the first, pushing the second, so the third suffers?

    But, only speculation, as we have no insight.

  3. I can’t imagine how ANY hacker could make a solid rocket booster blow up. Kim would have no reason to install a self destruct circuit in his missile, and every reason to not do so.

    It’s easy to imagine a flaw in the propellant.

  4. blert:

    About that flaw in the propellant: I watched a couple of Nork launches on TV the other day. One clearly had a little thrust variation about 5-10 seconds into the launch. If there is enough burn variation to be visible like that, it sounds to me like they are having trouble mixing and casting their propellant grain. That will certainly cause failure in many cases. I am not weeping for their failures.

  5. F…

    Solid propellant rockets are conceptually simple.

    However, they are WAY more difficult to manufacture than liquid propellant rockets.

    Solids have ALWAYS lagged behind liquids.

    The use of solid propellant rockets for Polaris was a revolution at the time.

    This is now largely forgotten.

    When you reach the scale of an IRBM… the chemistry has to be PERFECT.

    There’s nothing easy about it whatsoever.

    We are being ‘clowned’ by tales of cyber hacking.

    There is, literally, nothing to hack.
