      Yes but this sort of test shouldn’t fail, and it absolutely shouldn’t fail twice in a row.

        Well now they know there’s something wrong elsewhere don’t they? They don’t exactly want this to happen, armchair-engineer.

          I am an engineer, specifically a test & commissioning engineer, but the chair I’m in right now doesn’t have arms.

          Yes, the purpose of the test is to confirm things are working correctly, but for this kind of test you’re supposed to make absolutely sure you have all your ducks in a row before you proceed.

              For all you know I could be. I’m certainly showing more technical expertise than you are these last few comments. You seem to just be arguing for the sake of it, and not really contributing anything of value to the discussion.

              No one needs to be that involved with this to know that it’s a very bad thing that they’ve failed twice in a row, both with initial propulsion issues - they haven’t even go to the point of testing the multiple warheads delivery stage.

              This isn’t a case of “well, testing is supposed to sort out these issues”, like it is with SpaceX developing a new rocket. This is a tried and tested solution that is in operation and actively maintained. It’s a big deal that it’s fucked up twice in a row.

    Everyone has trouble getting it up sometimes, it’s nothing to be ashamed of.

      I vaguely remember an article about pollution affecting penis size and performance. Perhaps this submarine was a part of that study.

    “A TRIDENT missile dramatically misfired and crashed into the ocean yards from the British nuclear submarine that launched it, The Sun can reveal.”

    Crashed into the ocean.

    So that’s why they were making such a big deal about NK’s rocket tests, they were insecure at the results they were getting.
