We humans are all the same. We launched somthing and they want to be a part of somthing also cause they are so poor. When you are a poor person or nations you like to pretend to try and trick the richer folks to like you or to notice you. When it comes to the people of Korea they were trying to further their technology so they are launching. The united states was trying to prevent them from learning.

Nope. The shuttle was way out of range of anything North Korea could launch. Plus, hitting a stationary target like a city is hard enough.

No, it's only a coincidence. North Korea launched missiles derived from the old Scud, with a long range but a low precision. They are able to hit only large surface targets like towns. It is possible to hit the Shuttle, but only in the Earth atmosphere with an air-to-air or surface-to-air missile.

No they launched on July 4 to make a statement in order to pressure the US into bilateral talks instead of the six-nation talks.

No, they were launched at seperate times. However, it is worthy of noting that they did launch on July 4th, America's Independence Day. This is perhaps an act of intimidation or to even further threaten America.

They couldn't even reach the shuttle, and they probably did it so people wouldn't notice because that nation is ran by a freaking idiot.

Absolutely no way, North Korea would not do something so daring. No matter how displeased they are.

More likely an act of defiance--to show the US that they are strong and fearless--in their own minds if nothing else
