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. |

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 bull.

Does it look like this? ;)

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. |

Don't you know Iran is supposed to be a third world piece of 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. |
