How is North Korea having intercontinental ballistic missiles a good thing?

As I'm not in the mood for some silly political discussion at this time of night, and I've promised myself to be nice, I'll just answer with one of the side reasons:

I'm hoping it didn't fail or otherwise blow up near the ground because that might have cost someone who was in the vicinity his or her life.
