I guess it's an improvement over their previous launch where it fell over and flew sideways into a village and exploded and killed god only knows how many people.

Beating the Intelsat-708 bodycount is still on the table, even sans a full tank of hyperglolics. :science:

So any country can just cobble poo poo together and throw it into space regardless of their ability to keep it there? I feel like you should have to pass a test or something, or like if you have "wiped entire village off the map" in your space program's record, you don't get to do more space for a while.

You'll find that demonstrating you can successfully cobble poo poo together and throw it into space confers you a wide degree of latitude on many things, once it's been successfully achieved. Especially if you can also split atoms.

18,000 miles per hour sounds so fast

If it hits near a coast or something it's just gonna gently caress up local fishing, right?

If 150,000 barrels of DDT off California haven't hosed up fishing, some risidual Unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine ain't gonna be a bother to anyone.

A transparent attempt to wipe out Diego Garcia, the plot thickens.
