flatter trajectory, it's estimated the missile could have traveled as far as 4,000 miles-- past anchorage, alaska, says scientist david wright. >> if they shoot it essentially straight up in the air, it goes very, very high and comes down not very far away. if they flatten it out a little bit, it uses all that speed to go a much longer distance. >> reporter: but the test does not mean north korea can deliver a nuclear weapon. it's not known whether it's mastered required miniaturization, or guidance and separation systems, that can take years to develop. >> as you go to longer and longer ranges, there are just much higher stresses, vibrations, the accelerations, so there are lot of forces on this nuclear warhead. we don't know if they've actually done the final steps to have a warhead that they could actually put into one of these long range missiles and have it work the way it's supposed to. >> reporter: as president-elect, donald trump vowed not to let today's event ever happen. as president, he tried to push china to pressure north korea, but he recently admitted that failed. today he

to deliberately attack us, and they're definitely not going to send something that will land in anchoragenjunction with the fact, colonel, the president doesn't set red lines. the notion we just heard. the defense secretary saying the capability doesn't change things. seems to me a deliberate message from the administration, that, hey, look, a red line for us is not an icbm test? >> that's right. red line i think would be something much more significant, dare we say much more kinetic. something that would actually explode somewhere and cause casualtiesthat would be a definite red line and i think the north knows that, but what the administration seems to be trying to do is ratchet things back. yes, they understand that this is a new capability. something that is different from what the north koreans have done before, but it is maybe not the game-changer that we thought it initially was. >> and, john, if i could just jump in one second. to underscore what cedric said. chose a specific word military people would recognize. capability. this is a missile that could have that capability, but e
