It was designed to launch Jin Zheng-En's hairpiece into the stratosphere.

A South Korean news outlet reports that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) launched a ballistic missile.
"North Korea fired an unidentified missile from a site in the vicinity of Buckhang in Pyeongannam-do (South Pyeongan Province) early this morning," according to a statement by the South Korea Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Multiple local media outlets are reporting that the missile exploded shortly after leaving the launch platform.
"We're aware of the event," the US Pacific Command said.
The last time the DPRK tried to launch a missile was on April 16, but by all accounts it also failed.
The US has vowed in recent weeks that the era of strategic patience is over. On April 17, US Vice President Mike Pence said "we're going to abandon the policy of strategic patience," while adding that "our hope is that we can resolve this peaceably."

so what? DPRK has been testing missiles for a long time and US will keep on yelling more sanctions PLEASE 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-39749670
The US Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, has called on the rest of the world to help force North Korea to give up its nuclear ambitions.
Speaking to the UN Security Council, he called on China in particular to leverage its trade links as influence.
But the Chinese Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, said the key to solving the problem did not lie with his country.
Tensions have increased lately, with both North and South Korea conducting military exercises.
The US has sent warships and an anti-missile system to reassure the South, where thousands of American soldiers are stationed.
North Korea has made repeated attempts to miniaturise nuclear warheads and fit them on long-range missiles capable of reaching the US.
Mr Tillerson warned the UN Security Council in New York of "catastrophic consequences" if it did not act, saying it was "likely only a matter of time before North Korea develops the capability to strike the US mainland". The US would use military force if necessary, he added.
He urged other countries to suspend diplomatic ties with Pyongyang and isolate its financial institutions.
In comments that seemed directed at China, he accused Council members of not fully enforcing existing sanctions against the North.
What are the sanctions on North Korea?
UN sanctions include a ban on selling North Korea arms, fuel, a host of items that could be used for weapons-making.
Also on the list are luxury goods including pearl jewellery and snowmobiles worth $2,000 (£1,540) or more.
Since last year, all cargo entering or leaving North Korea must also be inspected.
But a recent UN study found that fragments from a North Korean missile test included electronics that had been sourced either from or via Chinese enterprises.
The US has separate, stricter sanctions including a blanket ban on trade and a blacklist of anyone dealing with North Korea.
What did the US and China say?
Asked on Friday by US broadcaster NPR if the US was prepared to hold direct talks with North Korea, Mr Tillerson replied: "Obviously, that would be the way we would like to solve this. But North Korea has to decide they're ready to talk to us about the right agenda."
China's foreign minister warned against military intervention, saying: "The use of force does not solve differences and will only lead to bigger disasters."
"Peaceful settlement of the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula through dialogue and negotiations represents the only right choice that is practical and viable," Mr Wang added.
He also repeated a Chinese proposal for a halt to Pyongyang's military programme in return for a freeze on joint US-South Korea military drills.
The US has rejected the idea in the past, saying the nuclear programme must stop first.
Analysis by Barbara Plett-Usher in Washington
What is this new approach the Secretary of State wants to see from the United Nations?
He laid out three elements: strictly enforce existing sanctions, impose new ones, and isolate North Korea diplomatically.
And he signalled greater US resolve to pursue this agenda. Most significantly he threatened US sanctions against entities and individuals in other countries that support North Korea's illegal activities. That may be putting Chinese banks on notice.
He also called UN members to downgrade or suspend diplomatic relations - hoping to cut North Korea's useful links with nations like Cambodia, Laos and Malaysia.
And he clarified the stakes: the new US campaign is driven by its own national security considerations, he said.
So it's serious.
The level of concern on the Security Council will be tested if North Korea conducts another nuclear or big missile test; that would be the most likely trigger for any move to new sanctions.
What have other countries said?

- Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said the use of force would be "completely unacceptable" but he also called on North Korea to end its nuclear and missile programmes
- UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson told the Security Council that while negotiations "must at some point form part of the solution", North Korea should first "make verifiable progress" towards denuclearisation.

80% of the big missiles they launch fail
I only hope when they do master the tech and put a nuke on top they hit Hawaii and California only.

There are 15 US bases in S Korea with 30 k US troops.
If they got hit, POTUS will change.
And Mr. T of the white house knows it.
Hence nothing tangible will he do.
Since Korea del norte has killed several American soldiers in the past with impunity.
Sanctions are not working 100% since the Chinese border exists.
This is all there is to.

We have a true US patriot here. I thought only Muslim states had these patriots.
