Intermediate Continental Ballistic Missiles.
We start off with the Nuclear capability of North-Korea as tensions build with the unstable and changeable U.S. President Trump? This is not the best of subjects to be covering at this time, but these types of missile systems are what keep the worlds communications systems and Space exploration possible?
It is hard to find accurate data for what kind of missiles N-Korea possess, but we can say that the three basic types come from the Peoples Republic of China and the former Soviet Union! China developed two types the CSS1/2 respectively from 1970/71, there ranges are 1100km to between 2500 and 4000Km.
These two systems were copies of the Soviet SS-4 Sandal medium range ballistic missile, which entered service in 1968. The Sandal was a development of the SS-3 Shyster and it was itself an upgrade of captured Nazi-German V-2's.
The third system is the former Soviet Unions SA-4/5 Guideline/Gammon which was widely exported and is an air defence missile system. The wheeled and track carriers seen are all based around the former Soviet and Chinese versions of the SS-14 Scapegoat carried on the Iron Maiden Chariot. These have a range of 4000Km plus and are capable of launching a 1.5 tonne Nuclear warhead, where the CSS-1/2 up to a one tonne warhead.
We must not underestimate them after their failed launch, because it is estimated that in every one-hundred U.S. missiles fired only forty will actually launch.
N-Korean targets, will be Seoul in S-Korea, Tokyo in Japan, the U.S. Marshall Islands and Hawaii islands!

Satallites Military and Commercial. Part-One.
Reagans Laser Satellites Plus.
About two years ago amateur astronomers noticed a unidentified flying object making regular orbits of the Earth, at first they thought it was a satellite in an inner orbit?

But that would mean it might collide at some point with the International Space Station, NASA then had to reveal it was a new type of mini Space Shuttle known as the X37.
Science fiction and the dupe of former U.S President Mr. Ronald Reagan had become a reality. In one of the James Bond films a recovery vehicle was deployed to capture satellites from both the Soviets and the Americans.
The X37 was being used to maintain damaged military reconnaissance equipment in lower orbit, if not replace or update. Speculation arose that Israel and NATO were probably also having a share in the U.S. Project?

Rockets. Part-Two.
From the ancient Chinese to Halloween.
Fire works were developed by the Chinese initially for the pleasure, very much as they are used today to mark a celebration or event globally.
But for a time the humble firework became a weapon from ancient China-Mongolia to the 17th Century French. The British Royal navy, and the U.S developed it as a distress flare.
The rocket came to its fore as a serious artillery piece during World-War-II (1939-45) where all allied and Axis sides had their own versions. Soviet Russia really when for the rocket from its Katyshka platforms to the BM-21 which remains in service across the world.
The humble firework today still finds other uses such as in demonstrations with the police and in pipe-bombs by most terrorists and other criminal groupings.

Submarines.
Under water vessels and craft.
Before Irishman Hollande invented the Submarine with finances from the Irish Republican brotherhood, a fore runner of the IRA. The diving bell was really the only viable sub and we can only guess how long ago it was invented. Early records suggest the Greeks were the first, but we now understand that ancient Greek technology was only an advancement on existing ideas.
Today the Submarine in its many forms from warship to robotic craft has become an invaluable tool into research of the worlds seas, oceans and lakes. Man has gone to the Moon, planets, Mars and yet we still know very little of what lies at the bottom of the seas of our own planet.
Robotic technology was used first on the discovery of the wreck of the Titanic, the submarine has gone from the two barrel concept of Loch Ree in County Tipperary to the former Soviet class Typhoon the largest nuclear ICBM capable submarine in the world.

Rockets. Part-Two.
From Chinese Firecracker to ISS.
Today rockets are big business for the telecommunications industry, everyone wants a faster Internet speed. Despite many still believing that this is based on optic fiber cables, space actually provides the links.
The rocket has only come into its own, since the end of World War-II (1939-45). The 1950's saw the development of the missile at the beginning of the 'Cold war, between Soviet Russia and the U.S. The Inter-continental ballistic Missile (ICBM) was developed by all sides to deliver multiple nuclear warheads to multiple targets, anything from 12 to 24.
In 1957 Russia launched Spunik and the first man in space Yuri Gagarin.
Despite America coming late, it took over with a man on the Moon and then developed the Space shuttle. Russia has opted for commercial satalites launches and now provides the progress Robot shuttles to the International Space Station.
