How Many North Korean Rocket Scientists Were Executed

[MineralMan]

6. I don't know, and we'll never find out. However,

you have to wonder how eager whatever engineers are left in North Korea might be to get involved in his missile program. Successfully designing and manufacturing long-range missiles isn't a simple thing. It doesn't take much of a flaw to cause a launch failure, given the high pressure and velocity required to drive such a thing into the air.

We've had our share of disastrous attempted launches, and we are extremely careful with design and manufacturing details. While I'm sure that North Korea has been assisted by China, most of the process has to be taking place inside North Korea.

Their nuclear weapon tests, too, have been plagued with poor performance. Eventually, Kim Jong Un will run out of people capable of creating such devices as missiles and nuclear weapons.

Hasten the day.
