Dr. Ahmedinajad into space.

Ahmadinijad proves that nepotism is alive and well in Iran, as his son moves to the front of the Astronaut line for February's space flight.

The first monkey to be sent successfully into space was Albert II, a male rhesus monkey, who made it to a height of 83 miles (134 km) on June 14, 1949. Albert II was carried aboard a V2 rocket as well, though his fate was not as lucky as that of the fruit flies: a problem with the parachute on the recovery capsule sadly led Albert II to his death from the force of the impact upon landing. So much for Iran's hi-tech achievements! And Israel had the bomb in 1955; 57 years ago.

...read all about it. Monkey..monkey...monkey in the space....read all about it .... Ahmadi monkey...in the space.

Locked inside a space capsul in outer space where he can't hurt anybody!!!!!!!!!!!!

What did the poor monkey do to windup in the hands of the Iranians?

Did such a Bang Up Job, his retirement will be in space, maybe he'll met his Mahdi! I Always Knew He Was A Space Cadet!

"Iran has already sent small animals into space - a rat, turtles and worms" Hmm. Is Iran experimenting with family members? Tsk, tsk.

Oh, my, go to the head of the class. Star Drek? LOVE IT!

.... that the toy monkey that the Iranians sent into space was very definitely not alive when the rocket (which never achieved orbit, by the way) returned to earth. They checked his pulse when the capsule was retrieved, and despite the best efforts of Iranian physicians (veterinarians?) notwithstanding, the toy monkey was certified as "life extinct."

Save the poor monkey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is going to become a martyr and get 72 virgins.

I didn't know Ahmadinejad had a brother.

Having exported their "GLORIOUS ISLAMIC REVOLUTION" to the rest of the Middle East (Lebanon, Gaza), the rest of Arab Countries, Some African Countries and now actively positioning themselves in Latin America, they want to conqure space and the Aliens! Much better idea than this monkey business would be to pack all such Mullahs and Islamic Fundementalists in a spaceship and send them to MARS!!!

They should have sent Ahmadinejad. They both have an eery resemblance..

Isn't there a "keep space from getting polluted" from debris and garbage? Sorry Ahmedinajackass, you'll just have to take a pass...maybe try Sir Branson....he's always looking for flight test rats.

send anything into space?? ... that's right 1988 ... 40 years after the others did it, so you guys are also a little sloooow, aren't you? ... and you did it with all the assistance you could get from the strongest and richest nation on Earth ... The Iranians are doing with the strongest and richest nation on Earth against them! ... good on them I say ...

What your point is Do you know what your point is?

But one can understand why it takes you long to swallow it.Iran is doing it with its own ability.........................................you did not.
