I like your spin, Waldo, but your boy is in the driver's seat now, and has been for the past 8 months. Kim has launched more missiles in that time than ever during Obama's tenure. Trump had all this big talk, but Kim is thumbing his nose at him at every turn.
Once in a while some space junk falls - it could kills some people easily.
I think 50 miles is what is considered "national airspace" by many....
"Military officials also said that the missile likely reached an altitude of 479 miles and flew for nearly 2,300 miles, "
If they are launching these low (<50 miles up), that's another story. But as it stands these are (somewhat) accepted rules for space flight.
My guess is that the odds of such a thing falling and hitting anything are really really low.
Fun Fact:
After the Soviet Union developed their A-bomb, in 1955 Eisenhower thought things were getting out of hand and proposed his "Open Skies" plan which was a bi-lateral agreement to exchange locations of military base locations and allow mutual reconnaissance overflights over each other to track nuclear weapons development. The Soviets said "nyet".
Flash forward to to October 1955. While there was much concern about the Soviets beating the US into orbit with Sputnik, Ike was more concerned with Soviet missile development for defense and spying rather than for space use. He knew that spy satellites were in the near future, and Sputnik flying over the US played into Ike's hands, essentially validating his Open Skies plan, albeit, at a much higher altitude.
Seems he's always predicting an apocalypse of some sort.
He's been wrong before but he's also been correct too.....and is a long time insider. He predicted Trump would be President before Ann Coulter. And not only did he make the prediction, but he was perhaps ten-times more adamant that the prediction would come true.
We're going to find out fairly soon if his current prognosis plays out.
