Iran fires research rocket not space missile-agency
Reuters | Monday, 26 February 2007

TEHRAN: Iran has launched a sub-orbital rocket for scientific research not a missile capable of reaching space as earlier reported, an aerospace official told an Iranian news agency on Sunday.

Ali Akbar Golrou, the executive deputy of Iran's aerospace research centre, told Fars News Agency the rocket would not stay in orbit but could rise to about 150km into atmosphere before falling to earth by parachute.

State television's Web site had earlier quoted the head of the aerospace research centre, Mohsen Bahrami, as saying Iran had fired a missile able to reach space.

Iranian advances in building missiles capable of reaching space are watched closely by the West because the same technology could be used to build intercontinental ballistic missiles.

They certainly seem big on technological development these days...

Perhaps they should be more concerned with their unemployment reaching 15 percent, and inflation climbing to 17 percent? To each is own though.

Could just be an Earth to Space Vehicle. They go up, take some vids or snapshots, then fall back to the dirt. They are used frequently because they are cheaper to build than a full-time satellite.

Maybe they were checking for leaks at the nuclear facilities, or to see what sort of thermal image they were giving off.

Ahmadinejad is doing what a lot of heads of state try when things aren't great on the home front. ...picking fights with external opponents and trying to convince people that space exploration is a priority.

A lessor man would have created a whole thread out of that link.

Spacecraft cause solar warming. Didn't you all know that environmental tidbit?

Dianne Sawyer's experience when she was there Semi-Undercover.

SAWYER: A woman screams at me. "The American government has done many crimes against us," she says. I try to move on, but she follows me. We jostle through the crowd. She even pushes me hard.

But as we walk, something else. First, she helps me make my head dress more appropriate. Next, she decides to kiss me, cheeks and head. Then shielding me from the crowd, she walks with me, yelling, "Death to America."

And before we part, in accented English, there it is.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I love you. I love you.

My point is we should be counting more on the people of Iran. In time I feel they will to proclaim the deliberate confrontations Ahmadinejad creates is unacceptable.
