On the very day the U.S. successfully launched the space shuttle Discovery, North Korea launched their “intercontinental” missile which promptly sputtered into the ocean:
North Korea test-launched at least five missiles Wednesday, including a long-range Taepodong-2 believed capable of reaching the United States, in a display of bravado that defied stern warnings from Washington and Tokyo, officials said.It’ll be fun to see the official Nork response: “We showed you! Now give us some food.”

Imagine if the US had shot it down.
According to StrategyPage, the DPRK is currently in an aid standoff with the PRC because the DPRK won't return the rolling stock (train locomotives and cars) that the most recent shipments of aid came in on. The DPRK is insisting that the trains were part of the aid package and just sent the PRC crews back over the border (probably on foot).
It must be that juche thing.
