Iran launches its first space sattelite!

quote:

The United States has voiced "great concern" over Iran launching its first domestically built satellite. Robert Wood, a US state department spokesman, said that Tuesday's satellite launch by Tehran could "possibly lead to the development of ballistic missiles". The fears were echoed by Geoff Morrell, the Pentagon press secretary, who said that it raised suspicion that Iran was continuing to develop a missile of "increasingly long range". The satellite, named Omid (Hope), was launched into orbit by rocket and is the first in a series that Iran plans to put into space by the end of next year. "With this launch, the Islamic Republic of Iran has officially achieved a presence in space," Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, said in a broadcast. Omid will stay in orbit for up to three months as part of a programme Iranian officials say is aimed at improving telecommunications and monitoring natural disasters. Nuclear fears Ahmadinejad has made scientific development, which often puts the country at odds with the West, a central theme of his presidency. The satellite's launch demonstrates the development of technologies that many countries fear could one day be used to launch nuclear weapons. Iran insists it has no plans to do so. The Iranian Fars state news agency said the satellite "has been designed for gathering information and for testing equipment ... [that] is going to help Iranian experts send an operational satellite into space". It said the launch was "another achievement for Iranian scientists under sanctions". Iran is under two rounds of UN sanctions due to its refusal to halt uranium enrichment, which the US and other Western nations fear could lead to the production of nuclear weapons. Tehran says its nuclear ambitions are limited to generating electricity. A satellite was put into orbit by Iran in 2005, but was carried by a Russian rocket.

Congrats Iran, you do us proud!

No, Iran must be kept as a third world piece of shit power.

Hijabs in outer space!

Great, only forty years behind the times! Are they going to discover microwaves soon?

Considering they have all kinds of sanctions on them, I'd say it's a pretty good effort for limited resources. Let us see USA do that.

Well I do have to say that it is very impressive for Iran though. Politics aside, if I was Iranian, this is a proud moment for the people of that country.

No, for the same reason I wouldn't want to visit Germany in 1941.

Yes but none of them were gay because they can't serve in the military. HA!

Awesome news.

Normally I'd be all for man's exploration of space, but considering we're talking about a country whose ruling class is made up of crazy fundamentalists, I do not think this news is all that positive.

As for the people who like Iran and its politics so much here, ask Iranian intelectuals and political refugees what they think of their current government system. I can assure you they all hate it as the theocracy there turned Iran from a liberal and prosperous country into a dictatorship at odds with half of the world. The only reason why they achieved such a success is because the pre-1970 mindset is still strong at their universities and research facilities.

I'm sure they're going to be the first country to send gay people to space, though

too late. we were first...YESSSSSSS!!!!!

You guys need to update your general knowledge, even though its like 50 years after first launch, Iran is like 8th country or so to do so, currently only like 7 countries in this world have done that before an have that technology. Other than France, Germany and UK I dont think any modern developed EU nations have that technology, like Norway, Denmark and bullshit.

No it dosent look anything like that.

Its more sophisticated than the level of sophistication US has acheived in past 50 years. US took 50 years to develop modern sattelites, Iran took 10 years to do it.

This is the pic of sattelite they launched:

That looks really awesome,the Iranians should be proud of this achievement.Iam sure somehow the world is going to look at this as some sort of threat to their freedom etc etc.

Don't you know Iran is supposed to be a third world piece of shit country!? Of course the Zionist American empire will not like.

It doesn't make much sense to compare their space programmes, does it?

Please!! Countries like Denmark, the Netherlands, and Switzerland have a much better developed educational system, and certainly produce more people with the intellectual capacity to throw a piece of metal into outer space. The universities in those countries had physics departments before there was even an Iran. These countries simply do not strive to send things into space on their own rockets because this isn't a cheap undertaking. It is far more economical for countries like Denmark to piggy-back off of the accomplishments of the US and russia, and simply pay-per-ride (sending what they want into space on an american, british, or russian rocket). Reaching space today is not a show of intellectual power, it's a show of muscle. Some countries don't care about these things.

Doing this 60 years after the russians first accomplished the feat actually shows their intellectual weakness. It is highly irresponsible for a country like Iran, which is a middle of the pack country in every respect (education, income, healthcare, etc...) to blow money on space exploration. There is simply no reason, other than military and ego of rulers, for them to reinvent the wheel. They should be focusing on improving the lives of everyday Iranians. Nothing good will come from this. It's not like any Iranians are blazing technological trails, and pretty soon we will have the next GPS or microwave technology.

Aside from the ridiculousness of the suggestion that iran sending one rocket into space is more sophisticated than the americans sending a man to the moon, satellites beyond our solar system, or vehicles to mars, it's much easier for iran to learn something from the achievements of the russian and americans over the past 60 years. On the other hand, the Russians and americans were starting from scratch; there was no model to follow. It is much easy to follow a path than it is to create one.

"In Iran, we don't have homosexuals like in your country." - meaning they don't have flaming ******s running around bringing down the quality of life.

getting a dick in your ass is not a lifestyle or a way of identifying yourself. no you don't suddenly have style and stop talking like a 10 year old girl.

hopefully he does do away with these ******s, but hopefully he doesn't pollute space. an incinerator would be fine or subjecting to them to high levels of radioactive material.
