Nuclear Proliferation and Thruster Envy

We all know that the United States is a big country.  We have huge farms, giant buildings, massive dams and lakes behind them, spacious prairies, and in general things are just bigger all around in Texas. The Russians have a huge country even now that goes across about twenty time zones.  The Chinese have over a billion people in their giant country. As I sit here typing this I know that this evening there will be another article on television about Kim Jong Il and his sad little nuclear detonations.  After he announced for the hundredth time, like the little tease that he is, that he would pop his little gun we stopped caring. After he finally detonated his pathetic little underground blast we discovered that it may have been a premature detonation. North Korean missiles fly over  Japan, a country  that could field an army of robots with real death rays.  

The similarity between missiles and the male unit is unmistakable. When the Old Soviets and the U.S. were competing in the space race we were launching things like Sputnik and Juno rockets. The launch vehicle for a Sputnik was huge with a huge wide booster. If you have ever seen Kim Jong Il's No Dong rocket it is obvious why we have so much trouble with him. It is thruster envy pure and simple.   The Russians have a rocket that they were going to use to launch a manned moon vehicle. It is a heavy booster called the G-1 Energiya Super Booster. The Chinese just launched a man into orbit. The Americans' Saturn Five launch vehicle could probably launch an apartment building into orbit. This little tinpot dictator thinks that his No Dong rocket can launch on the United States. If nuclear detonations are the equivalent of a national orgasm then Kim Jong Il has just had his first taste of nuclear pleasure. His tiny little spurt of radioactivity is just now settling back into its melted cavern He probably smoked a few of his enslaved subjects and maybe sent Dr. Goon in Pakistan a little rice cake.
