In fact, the SM-3 test shots we've done to date include a telemetry downlink that incorporates a last snapshot of the target just before impact. Talk about "freeze frame" :) - SJS Given that the SM-3 “warhead” is a hit-to-kill vehicle, doesn’t matter much if you talk about a telemetry bird.

Based on your presumption above-any nation that launches an orbital mission is a potential threat to the US. Shall we start shooting down Arianne rockets out of French Guiana for target practice? This whole thing requires a carefully thought out response-and it has to be thought out ahead of time, because there will be no time to figure it out on the fly. Brian's point about knowing what the missile is doing is key. Our response will have to predicated on that...... China launches missiles into space too-they are hardly a friendly power.

At the same time a message is delivered to Al Jazera, from some group ( sic PETA, a Mexican Drug Cartel, or irrate chimney sweeps for that matter ) claiming responsiblity. If the Nk's don't like it--our dipolamitic response-Blow Me!! How about we shoot the missle down, but deny we did it.

How does Norks lofting a ICBM towards North America fit into their threat matrix? Since Iran just successfully orbited something using NORK technology I got to suspect this launch has a good chance of doing what the NORKS aim to do. So is this a likely threat or a most dangerous threat?
