    Russia to launch spy satellites for Iran

    By Vladimir Radyuhin

    MOSCOW, FEB. 2. Russia will launch two spy and one telecommunications satellites for Iran in what may be a sign of strengthening strategic tie-up between the two countries.

    The Russian military space forces this year will place two Iranian remote earth-probe (reconnaissance) satellites to geo-stationary orbits, a Russian business daily reported today. The satellites, Italian-built Mesbah and indigenous Sinah-1 will be lifted by the Russian Kosmos-3M booster from the Russian military space port, Plisetsk, in the second quarter of 2005, the Kommersant daily reported.

    Russia will also build and launch a geo-stationary telecom satellite, Zohreh (Venus), for Iran under a $132-million deal signed earlier this week in Teheran. Moscow will also help the Islamic Republic in setting up two ground control stations and train local personnel.

    My order of preference:

    1 Star Trek
    2 Enterprise

    5 DS9

    I didn't hold out much hope for Enterprise. I was leery of Bakula as captain, I couldn't stand Quantum Leap. But I thought T'Pol was pretty hot and the show moved pretty well. Oh well.

    Furthermore, there is some reason to believe that Josephus' references to Jesus were tampered with later by Christians.


    There's quite a bit of evidence that certain manuscripts of Josephus were altered, however it's not to hard to google up work done by legit scholars to extract the later additions through textual analysis of the Greek and comparing manuscripts from various sources.

    What they're left with is basicaly what I claimed. There was this man Jesus, he had followers, he was killed.

    the evidence supporting the existence of Jesus is practially non-existent.


    I'm sure you mean other than the contemporary Jewish historian Josephus. While Josephus certainly doesn't label Jesus as the messiah or the son of God, he does mention he had followers and was killed by Pilot. So the fact that Jesus existed really isn't in doubt.


    Haven't you ever wondered about the fact that none of the authors of the Gospels ever knew the supposed Messiah?


    Correct. Current biblical scholarship believes the authors of the gospels to be disciples of the disciples, eg Mark may have been a follower of Peter.

    However this doesn't disprove anything regarding Jesus. That seperate groups of followers produced simmmilar accounts of Jesus life would seem to suggest a common origin*, not that they were concocted by various random individuals.

    I don't demand anyone to look me in the eye. I'm saying that the inability to make eye contact is usually indicative of underlying psychological and or psychiatric weakness, and that's information I incorporate into my evaluation of a person.

    It's a behavior that exists in apes, felines, canines, etc. It's not just some social convention that manifested recently, and as it is usefull information, we shouldn't pretend that it doesn't exist.
