...I probably could have watched the test!

This is the kind of stuff we should be spending our defense funds on... rather than poking our enemies with a stick, lets just render their military useless against us. That way, they can attack us, do nothing, then we can beat the crap out of them w/ UN backing and a fuck-ton of cruise missiles.
'Course, not even N. Korea is dumb enough to launch a ballistic missile attack on the US if we've got a missile defense system in place. Hell, I don't think they're even dumb enough to do it if we don't have the defense system... it would be political and literal suicide.
But I digress... the point is, it would have been cool to see the missile launch from my old office in SLO. I remember seeing military satellite launches right from my desk.
