On July 4th...

North Korea launched a handful of missiles, all of which fizzled harmlessly into the Japan Sea. Their "long-range" missile could only stay in the air for 42 seconds before breaking apart. It was so pathetic that the U.S. military didn't even bother to send out their Interceptors. Yawn.

Meanwhile, in the U.S., we sent up a space shuttle which successfully carried various human beings into outer space. We'll carry out scientific experiments and resupply a space station, I think. In other words, it hasn't landed yet.

Summary: America 1, North Korea 0.
