Apparently, the prevailing theory is a program to cyber-sabotage the launch systems[0]. [0]: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/04/world/asia/north-korea-missile-

  It also seems crazy to me that we'd be successful at sabotage 88% of the time

    Well, it could be 11 agencies each being successful about 10% of the time?

  That seems to be a preferable approach since space lasers would require allowing NK to build a functional missile in the first place. If it is possible to sabotage the actual design at some critical point they can be prevented from creating functional missiles at all.

  I wonder if they could go the next step and make it fall back on Mr Kim's compound --then he'd suspect one of two things, his own people were trying to get him or-- as adversary had critically compromised his systems. Both scenarios would be equally devastating for his goals. Scuttling them at sea is nice and all --having them go up and straight back down would present the regime with quite a problem.

    That would be an interesting solution to the North Korean problem if the missile was armed.
