US Government officials believe North Korea will soon be building its first road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missile, an easily hidden weapon capable of hitting the United States. While the major concern is that North Korea might target nuclear warheads at the USA sometime in the future, an easier to realise payload could have catastrophic effects – High Altitude Electro-Magnetic Pulse.
Such a device, if nuclear-powered, could affect the electronics of an entire continent. But there are also non-nuclear HEMP devices. Because their explosive materials are much bulkier, they are more likely to be used on a specific target – Wall Street for example, or the downtown of any city. And they wouldn’t be restricted to sending just one. What if they fired one at every major city in the USA, all on the same day? Or what if they targeted nuclear power plants?

The recent upheavals in Egypt caused research permits to be placed on hold, but the Supreme Council of Antiquities has now started granting permits again. The Leicester robot company Scoutek UK are confident that they will be able to finish their mission in 2012. Which means a “micro snake” robot they have created will perhaps, finally, let us know what is really at the end of the shafts of the Great Pyramid.
Here’s hoping for an interesting result!
