Sheesh, we have NORAD on alert and no explanation, the space shuttle about to launch, an asteroid passing by, and North Korea threatening to launch a missle.
Okay, here's how it goes:
The N. Koreans shoot the missle off to hit the asteroid in an attempt to send it hurtling toward the U.S., the shuttle goes up, uses new onboard lasers to shoot the Korean missle down. They hit the Korean missle but don't destroy it. It hits the asteroid but instead of deflecting it toward the earth it heads toward N. Korea instead.
