North Korea “Satellite” launch fear?

April 1, 2009

I’ve been thinking… why worry about them attaching a nuclear warhead on the rockets? There are plenty of ways to attack the rest of the world without using explosions and ballistic-crap.

Imagine the possibilities:

Killer biochemical substances added to each stage of their rockets, such that they pollute/contaminate wherever they land. As long as it’s not within their own region, who cares if it’s poison that’ll affect millions of marine life, and possibly those who consume em?

A real satellite. Well, we all love satellites, don’t we? I may be rambling here, but isn’t that what’s given us our cool, fun Google Earth? Isn’t it fun when you can look at wherever you want? And even zoom down to the smallest details (ok, fine, not the smallest, but still… pretty small)? Of course, the Earth works in such an amazing way that no images can be captured around important areas in the country… eg, military bases, etc.

Either way, imagine a super, duper powerful camera on a satellite orbiting earth. I mean, hey c’mon, I’m sure a country can shell out enough money to produce/buy the BEST camera in the world, right (note: camera, not cameraS. Singular)? So even with physics getting in the way, wouldn’t they (whoever has access to the satellite) be able to, at the very least guess where are the “hotspots” for different countries?

I remember reading one comment on some blog that I can’t get out of my head: “Why would North Korea need to launch a satellite anyway?” Foxtel? Don’t their citizens live in small houses (gift from the government), sleep on the floor, and have the world’s most compact, most portable entertainment device: A framed picture of a dude? Hmm… maybe that’s the reason. Perhaps their one entertainment device is finally starting to bore them, so they need a satellite out there so they can all watch Animax.

Sorry… what were we talking about again?
