2. You know exactly what that stupid thing is designed to do
Ezra ,   California   (02.03.09)
Spy on Israel.

4. I love this. starting my day with Iran !
atilla karagözoğlu   (02.03.09)
5. Another dangerous development.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (02.03.09)
One more step in Iran's progress towards developing nuclear arms & a delivery system. Only military action will stop Iran. Israel can count on no one to remove this threat - wishful thinking & denial of reality are a most inappropriate response to this existential threat.

Wissam ,   Beirut / Lebanon   (02.03.09)
It's really extremely weird that some people are so annoyed by Iran's progress. They get frustrated and want to initiate a war just because Iran was successful on the technological level. Come on People, no one gets annoyed when "Israel" moves forward with its technology, why do you want everything for yourselves!! Again, Bravo for Iran and congratulations. Note: We are expecting the same progress and determination from Turkey (Erdogan), Good luck Turkey!!!
7. Home-made satellites+long ranged balistic rockets?
Daniela ,   London   (02.03.09)
I don't know what kind of normal home makes satellites and long ranged ballistic technology. Certainly not in my home. Now a days it seems normal to make a rocket at home. A kind of afternoon activity to do with the kids. This world has gone nuts!!!
8. its one small step for Iran one giant leap for muslim kind
zionist forever   (02.03.09)
Get ready for 3 months worth of daily updates of how their Hope satellite is doing amazing things that no other satellite ever invented can do. It will be able to read the minds of the zionists they are observing, has special sensors so they can hear everything that gets said in Israel and x ray vision so they can look into all our homes. WHO NEEDS PHOTOSHOP WHEN YOU HAVE HOPE I want to know when Israel is sending up its promised next generation satellite to replace the Offek series?
9. TERRY,TO YOU EVERYTHING IS DANGEROUS........#5
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (02.03.09)
You have nothing concrete to offer every time Iranian experts announce anything at all.Nevertheless, what they strived for has been achieved whilst you take time to read from biased sources about its success/failure from your favourite sites.
10. DANIELA,MORE TO LEARN..........#7
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (02.03.09)
Oh, no,Daniel.It is not as simple as you make it look.Iranians have been working hard for this achievements but obviously, the biased media will underplay this achievements.Between ourselves, let us acknowledge a step forward for the Iranian Space technology.
11. Mahmood are you having a laugh? Iranian Space technology...
Daniela ,   London   (02.03.09)
Are you serious! We should be celebrating the achievements of Iran on launching a long range rocket for what they call are satellite purposes. Great step forward in what you like calling Iranian Space Technology. I would prefer to call this a step forward in trying to test missiles which a weapon can be attached to. You are so naive! You really think Israel is stupid! They know!!!! Satelites?! Yeah right ....
12. to 9*/10* dont bother replaying to 5, he is brainwashed from
mohannad   (02.03.09)
thier media
13. YEAH - it's all about the SCIENCE. Right.
(02.03.09)
YEAH -- it's "designed for gathering information and testing equipment"....gathering information about Israel and testing their launching equipment to then attempt to destroy Israel. Note: the only ones buying this "purely in the pursuit of science" BS are this guy "Mahmood" and "Wissam" from Lebanon -- true friends of Israel, to be sure (so much for yapping about "biased sources" there, Mahmood). Because Iran and Ahmadinejad are famous for their "aim of expanding monotheism (if you don't follow Allah we will kill you and all the infidels), peace ('we will wipe the Zionist State off the map') and justice (how many people were just hanged recently for...???)" -- what a load! Yes, all those Zionists are just being paranoid.
14. why not?
Al Khityar ,   Palestine   (02.03.09)
43 countries worldwide have this technology, why just everybody eyes are on Iran, while all are blined when Israel is achieving a record in these technologies. If I were an Israeli leader, I would suggest a lastfull and just solution for the Paestinian crises, which is putting every muslim in the other side of the equation,,,, You cannot prevent everybody from doing everything all the time,,,,we said that hundtreds of times, ,,, oneday somebody will succeed,,, and it is Iran now and who knows who will be next. Israeli people, use your mind now, but change them first, you have to change, think real peace, admit the others, you had a problem living allover the world, you came-back- home, but unfotunetely you pushed out hundreds of thousands of palestinians as refugees, dont tell me they left alone, dont rty to convince me that the dirty arab leaders asked them to leave and the suped they did,,, this song has expired,,, we heard it for 60 years, you cant sell it anymore, Back to our subject, yes, change your mind, give the palestinians a real hope to live together with you, stop this settelments cancer,,, then things can change
15. #9 Mahmood. No, only Islam.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (02.03.09)
Totalitarian ideologies with millions of lunatic followers are dangerous. Islamic crazies with atomic weapons are even more dangerous. No sane person could ignore this or be complacent.
16. Iran, take care of your people 1st, then be superpower! :)
Doron ,   Israel   (02.03.09)
17. What did they send up? Iran will never catch up with Israel.
Doron ,   Israel   (02.03.09)
18. Iran shows fake muscles, just like the USSR did to the U.S.
Doron ,   Israel   (02.03.09)
19. DANIELA,UNFORTUNATELY..........#11
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (02.03.09)
You are the one who has been caught naked.If you are under the impression that the Iranians would turn a blind eye to military application of the present civil achievement,you must be nuts.Of course they would remain prepared for a switch over to such requirements, should that become neccessary.Any why not?Same applies to the Nuclear programme.Considering the imbalance that exist in the Middle East,you seem to be more naive in believing that this status is going to remain indefinitely.Oh no, Daniela.Follow the press for some more interesting development.
20. #5, it probably just means they upgrade photoshop
Danny   (02.03.09)
i'll put money on this story being utter lies as per their usual crap about rockets.
21. YOU MAY OPT TO CATEGORIES.......#15
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (02.03.09)
The Islamic countries the way you choose.No problems at all.However, you must,must do accept that the equation in the Middle East will certainly change the past one-sided opportunities that existed and now the same equation is changing.Categorising them as lunatics will probably attract few readers to ear a smile on their faces, but you will and have already been dealing with the same'lunatics'.And by the way, the real lunatics were more observed in Gaza killing over 1400 civilians.That is why the world has woken up from the slumber and has noticed what the lunatics can and are capable to do.Have a nice day,Terry.
22. Great news
beotah ,   Vienna   (02.03.09)
One more step in Iran's progress towards full independence from bullying powers.
23. Is a firework ant-made?

vashDi ,   israel   (02.03.09)
don't get too excited about this "home made whatever" satellite, sooner or later it's gonna run out of batteries and then what the iranians gonna do? send their home made spaceship and astronauts to fix it? lucky for us israelies, our enemies are dumb.
