North Korea launches a rocket

[Cousin Eddie]

not the same thing. people are literally eating grass and tree bark to live in North Korea.

Same thing just not on the same scale. Both countries are putting missiles before people and I honestly feel it's a little hypocritical. (Granted I do understand that North Korea is run by psychos, I was just offering some context.)

[Turbio!]

This. Is. Wonderful.

Ain't gonna lie, I laughed at my own joke when I posted that.

[DSG-TDI]

Hmmmm what other country spent a **** load of money on missiles while its citizens become increasingly poor? Oh right, Am-ur-i-ka!

You know those missiles also protect Canada too, right?

So, you're welcome.

No, it's really not. I had a delicious Egg McMuffin made with organic eggs and a whole wheat English muffin this morning with a nice cup of drip coffee. My North Korean counterpart probably had a bowl of air seasoned with bitter tears.

Don't read into what I said too much, i'm not out to make a debate out of it. Consider it more of a gentle jab.

Hopes and dreams?

[joness0154]

hahaha.

I think that is a comm- interceptor/jammer, no?

The only thing that plane intercepts is missiles

Holy AWESOME!

How anyone can read that and not at once say "murica, **** yeah" and "holy god don't aim it at me", I don't know.

What do you do in Air Force?

Oh, me? I fly a 747 with a goddamn laser that shoots missles out of the sky. What do you do?

Nothing.

South Korea is trying to locate the downed rocket. I'd love to know what the payload really was.

cake delicious cake

Don't worry. That's a "canceled" program. It couldn't possibly have been us. No way.

It was probably aliens.

I'd like imagine there's an American laser satellite sporting quite the problem face this morning.

Every eight-year-old boy on Earth just got their first erection, and they do not know why.

I like the part from thew wiki page that goes something along the lines of "theoretically could be used against other aircraft or low orbit satellites, but it hasn't been tried so effects are unknown"

Sure.
What I know of R&D for military uses is a bunch of people sit in a room and say "man it would be awesome if we could do "this"...then they get the money and try it.

This is not DARPA's mission statement, but it might as well be.

Here ya go.

edit: hahaha... beaten.

[Tornado2dr]

Not their public one, anyways.

"hey guys, you think we can build a ray guy that will force people out of our way but not kill them, that way we can zap them again and again for comedic effect?"

we can try.

BAM.

Hey guys, you think we can make a human exoskeleton so that a soldier could carry like 400 lbs of gear?

we can try

BAM

You think we can build the internet?
BAM

Basically anything you drew on the back of your notebook in 5th grade, these guys get to try and make reality. ****ers.

[Cousin Eddie]

[cryption]

I wonder if it failed or if we shot it out of the sky.

[Fritz27]

It would be more amusing if it failed, but I bet we shot it down.

We should just drop rice cakes with troll face on them on the North Korean military.

[peoples_car]

are there any video clips of this fail in action?

[rrr rr]

I have a warm fuzzy feeling this was in the area at the time...

...or maybe one of these:

[Jader Pack]

I wonder how many poor starving North Koreans they could have fed with the resources used to build that failure.

I really hope that something good for that country comes during my lifetime.

I wish something good comes to that people in my lifetime. For the country, I wish for nothing but a pox.

Man, would it ever be satisfied to see Kim Jong Un strung up by his toes in a public square.

[Jader Pack]

About as many Americans that could have had universal health care for the price of going into Iraq

Waiting for someone to take a cue from the Kims and ironically call this comment "anti-American."

Not likely, it was sent to AMARG Davis-Monthan in February.
