Happy Friday the 13th, you superstitious numerological heathen!
I'm having some defined misgivings about Iron Sky now. It's looking like it could be Inglorious Basterds pulp, or polished B-movie. From io9:

Breakfast Granola for 4/2/10
Familiarize yourself with the layout of this cockpit, for you gaze upon the interior of a Nazi flying saucer. You never know when the Krauts will let their guard down enough for us to capture one...This Iron Sky concept art was found on io9.

Breakfast Granola for 4/6/9
And so it came to pass...over Japan...North Korea launched a rocket Sunday, despite warnings from Japan, South Korea and the United States not to proceed.Quickly, to the Complaining Room!
The rocket, launched at 11:30 a.m. -- 0230 UTC, passed over Japan, with the first stage landing in the Sea of Japan and a booster falling in the Pacific. Japanese officials said no debris fell on its territory.
U.S. State Department spokesman Fred Lash confirmed the launch, saying Washington regarded it as a "provocative act." Washington said it would take immediate steps to let North Korea know it cannot threaten the security of others with impunity.
The United Nations failed to agree on a response to North Korea's long-range rocket launch despite pressure from Washington and its allies for action...Thanks a lot, for putting the "Un" in U.N.

My Favourite Game
NKorea schedules rocket launch between April 4-8: Yonhap
The fun part is that North Korea filed a flight advisory with the International Civil Aviation Organization, which you can see here. It even includes a map identifying "danger areas." Although the advisory doesn't specify what's so dangerous about the "danger areas," a test of rocketry could mean a few things: 1) they're places where booster stages might be falling, 2) "ditch" areas in case there's an accident and they need to drop it somewhere, and/or 3) along the same lines, "target" areas where they intend the rocket to come down.
Keeping in mind that the launch site -- Musudan-ri -- is located by the top-left corner of "F" in "FIR PYONGANG ZKKP" -- is there anything we can discern by looking at these images?
Closeup of "Danger Area 1"
Wideview, with both "Danger Areas."
It's bad enough that North Korea is shooting this rocket over Japan -- just north of the Kanto area, the most heavily populated -- but if you draw a line on those zones, you're headed for...
Pearl Harbor.
Dear Leader, THIS is why you're so "ronery."
