North Korea may not be able to feed its people, but the grandeur and technological sophistication of its nascent “space” program’s launch control is currently the subject of mass marvel online.
Similar launch control facilities from around the world:
USA:
Russia:
Japan:
Germany:
France:
China:
South Korea:

North Korea’s last control facility:
Their latest one:
The “rocket” (not to be confused with a prototype ICBM designed to extort more money out of the US) is due to launch soon to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Great Leader Kim Il Sung, and will carry a satellite, doubtless of unparalleled sophistication, into orbit.
South Korea, Japan and the US all maintain the launch is actually a missile test, and Japan has warned it will shoot the missile down should it come too close, whilst the US has cancelled its “unrelated” 240,000 tons of food aid. There is also considerable suspicion that the state plans to follow the launch with another nuclear test.
Online, the sight of their launch facilities has prompted some less than charitable commentary:
“NASA sure has a thing to learn from this, so compact and efficient.”
“It looks like an elementary school’s PC room…”
“Where are all the people?”
“There isn’t anything on their desks except for monitors…”
“I’d love to know what is in that wooden desk’s drawers.”
“Love that projector!”
“Look at its plugs… pure class.”
“The whole thing is probably a sham.”
“Wait, this isn’t a Photoshop?”
“CNN are showing it, it must be true!”
“They have no intention of controlling this missile once it is launched, do they?”
“Their last control room looked better.”
“Why lab coats?”
“For the look of the thing!”
“The guy on the lower left is watching a picture of himself in the control room on his own monitor. My sides ache.”
From a communist point of view, this is how a launch control should be, nothing but the essential.
Where’s the pic from Brazil?! I whant to know if Brazil have one! Any link to share? Anyone?
Alcantara launch center. I could only find that one though!
It’s so fucking small! But it at least looks much better than North korea’s one!
It exploded!!!
“240,000 tons of food aid.”
Why the f♥♥k do we do this? They vow to kill us every chance they get, let the fuckers starve.
That’s their government…. they still have a population who don’t give a f♥♥k about the rest of the world and just want to survive in one of the worst personality cult brainwashing machine (after the us) in the world…
Minimal investment but maximun failure!
Why the world MUST PAY (“attention”) FOR IT?!?
