Iran Announces Manned Space Mission Plans

Posted by timothy on from the look-out-below dept.

Lucas123 writes "After Iran's first attempt to launch a satellite on Sunday fell noticeably short of the Earth's atmosphere (though Iran claimed it made it into orbit), government officials stated they intend to put a man into space within 10 years. The long-range ballistic technology used to put satellites into space can also be used for launching weapons. Iran says it has no intention to use the technology for launching nuclear warheads."

    Good for Iran. Nice to see them doing well over there.

    Wonder if they'll fix that Israel problem for us....

    No need, David Ben Gurion did just that. The problem has been solved 60 years ago.
