Iran Test Launches Kavoshgar-1 Space Rocket

Back


Iran launched a rocket on Monday designed to send its first homemade research satellite into orbit in the next year, state television said.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad read out the launch countdown before the rocket blasted off to chants of "God is greatest" by an audience of officials in a control room, state TV reported.

TV footage showed the rocket soaring into the sky from a desert launch pad, leaving a vapor trail. A parachute appeared to drop from the rocket shortly after the launch. State television gave few details about the rocket.

State media said the research satellite, called Omid (Hope), would be launched by March 2009.

Actually I disagaee.
The Mullah make Iran much stronger and truly independent.
Shah Pallavi was BP-Shell puppet.
I am Muslim, and I not fully agree with their version of Islam culture- but it is their land and they may do as they please.

US people- please do not hate Iran.

Hate the Jew- they are the one that cause your economic trouble.
Just like in 1929.

You're joking right? Since when has Iran helped the Taliban? Iran is Shi'ite. The Taliban isn't that friendly with Shi'ites. Iranians have every right to build a space program.

Hey Fuckface... Napoleon was born on the Island of Corsica from an Italian bloodline. He chose France, but hes a wop ! Besides ,with your logic that means Hitler was a war hero too, huh? Fuck you and die.

P.S. Your the load your mom should have swallowed...

Dude, if you want to reply to me
at least have your daily wank to the Walmart clothing catalogue or whatever

so you don't take all your anger on youtube

Napoleon became ruler of the French Empire
He spoke French fluently and considered himself as much French as he was Corsican

And why on Earth are you comparing Napoleon and Hitler?

Napoleon was one of the greatest military strategists to ever have lived

Hitler was a genocidal maniac
