Iran, monkeys, space, hah-hah-hah. Actually these primitive albeit ambitious flights are anything but amusing when one considers the payload these missiles may carry aloft one day.

MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (12.14.13)
Iran's space programme achievments have been recorded by USA and Russia.I wonder the illiterate people still trying their best to undermine Iran's achievements.What do we do with the USA and Russian reports on the subject?
14. To Mahmood
Alex ,   Minneapolis, MN USA   (12.14.13)
They report on it to make fun of it. There are absolutely no achievements in araniman space program. Iran in about half of century to late with that poor monkey that they killed. They should have just googled the results. But since Google was invented by jews I just don't know. I remember iran said it was gonna position it's navy by us cost. Never happened. Full of crap as always.

16. They sent Ahmadinejad into Space?
Gracey ,   Tel Aviv   (12.14.13)
I hope so because it's vile and disgusting to send an innocent animal.
17. ICBM
fred ,   pilly usa   (12.14.13)
Wow... 72 miles! Israel is how far? LOL
18. Iran becoming a real headache.
Nora Tel Aviv   (12.14.13)
Iran sends monkeys to the space . The message is clear. Iran is fast becoming a real threat . Its oil producing Arab neighbors will have to accept to become Iran`s protectorates in the near future. Some 80% of worlds oil energy will be tapped by Iran`s good/bad will. What the energy hungry West can do? War in the Middle East !
19. Congratulations...
Robert ,   VA USA   (12.14.13)
to you and the Chinese...better very, very, very, very late than never. Nice to see you give one of your leaders a nice ride.
20. laugh all you want, BUT . . .
spyguy ,   seattle USA   (12.14.13)
you might want to consider several things (1) Iran is quickly mastering the ability to design and build both liquid fuel and solid fuel rocket technology (2) Iran is quickly mastering the ability to to design and build reliable electronics packages and guidance systems (3) Iran has been able to rapidly catch up with west WHILE under extremely stringent sanctions and has had to build lots of stuff on their own from basic raw materials instead of just buying. Every time Iran successfully clones western technology without having to buy stuff from the west, means that Iran is more self-sufficient. So laugh all you want, but keep in mind Iran is learning fast. Is Israel as self-sufficient as Iran? Or does Israel have to buy their war toys?
21. #11 This is a big achievement, Mahmood
Cynthia ,   USA   (12.14.13)
More impressive than the first launch of worms, frogs and mice. Unfortunately, this is 64 years after the US sent a monkey into space and the significant advancement of space science and technology. A good example of how the regime has isolated Iran and set it back in time.
22. FIND IT ODD..................................#21
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (12.15.13)
That on one hand you do acknowledge Iranian success whilst on the other hand you talk of isolation.Are you sure that you are mentally stable? Why then,do we read of the fear amongst Zionist regime of the technology being used probably for ballistic missiles? Please decide on the issue and enjoy your remaining weekend,Cynthia
23. #22 It's called sarcasm, Mahmood
Cynthia ,   USA   (12.15.13)
The Iranian regime might be better off not broadcasting milestones in their space program. It shows how limited their space program is. In regard to ballistic missiles, Iran parades their weapons regularly as a diversion from their nuclear program. Israel has every reason to be concerned since Iran openly threatens Israel which in reality is a threat against the entire region.
