I went and researched this, according to articles published during the time of this satellite launch this satellite wasn't even supposed to stay up there for long. This was their first satellite, just launching it was a success, apparently confirmed by NASA. This is basically a more modern version of Sputnik (the first man-made satellite). The writer tried so hard even though the writer had nothing to base this off of. I'm doing a major in Astronautical and Aeronautical Engineering I should know.

That a first attempt failed to reach optimal orbital parameters just ells us that they will need to tweak things a bit. It is stupid to treat the Iranians as intellectually inferior. They aren't. They have far more technical resources than Iraq, and Saddam was able to enrich Uranium, make nerve agents (not too hard) and make biological weapons (a little harder). Give the Iranians time, and they'll have a nuclear weapon deliverable anywhere on earth, and the ability to inflict a devastating EMP attack on any country on earth with only one weapon.

Next time, it might be a warhead intended for an EMP attack. Detonated in the atmosphere, a massive EMP would desroy the electrical grid in the USA, crippiling us with one blow. OR, they might be getting ready to nuke Israel. We simply don't know. Either way, we have already demosntrated by word and action that we have no stomach for war. So, Iran can basically do whatever the Mullahs want. Without nuclear testing, our arsenal is unreliable and most likely, useless. Even if our nukes are operationa, does anyone think Obama would have the will to use them?

But does the world have the will to respond in said manner, especially knowing full well that six or seven figures’ worth of Iranian innocents would be likely to die in such a response? That’s the big question.

So $1 billion is nothing compare to what they have wasted since past 20 years to get their hands on nuclear enrichment system. As long as ayatollahs can suck petrol money to fulfill their dreams, they continue to do so and people hurt the most with the crumbling economy and very poor and abusive human Rights records. www.rottengods.com Well, Islamic Iran needs to build nuclear weaponry systems to continue Islamic revolution and getting some sense of security over regime change policy.

So if this one is falling down either the Russians didn't put it into space or the Russians built the sat but the Iranians built the launcher and it's the launcher that failed to put the thing into a correct orbit. On the one hand I'd probably not be interested in an auto built in Iran or fly in a plane built in Iran. On the other hand they seem determined to enrich uranium and improve their rocket firing capability. It seems like either they're trying to build a nuclear weapon or make us think they are. Doesn't seem smart not to believe them. The Russians are able to put a satellite into space.

I wouldn't expect them to be successful the first time out. However, pretending that it was successful when it wasn't is so typical of them. Of course, what they (like North Korea) plans to do with a working rocket system should be intolerable to the rest of the world. It's a club, certain folks aren't invited, too bad. Way it should be anyway. I’m certainly no fan of the Iranian regime, but certainly NASA has had their share of failures since they began. I wouldn’t expect them to be successful the first time out.

Nice. so in other words, when they DO build and launch an ICBM, it could land anywhere. Nice.
