#2 assuming they aren't lying - a BIG assumption - it's just more space junk to track and destroy if necessary

#3 'Launching' and 'achieving orbit' are two different tasks.

As kids, we 'launched' a lot of stuff with C-6's and 11's, D-12's and even an E-9 once.

Don't know if their speed and apogee was ever considered 'orbital', though.

#8 See also RIAN > IRAN TO SET UP SPACE LAUNCH BASE, in the country's SE adjacent next to the Sea of Oman + Indian Ocean.

ARTIC = Iran hopes to send up its first man or men into space [orbital mission only?] come 2019.

HMMMM, HMMMM, dare IRAN = CHINA [Xinjiang/West China] = BASE THE BULK OF ITS FUTURE STRATEGIC NUKE MISSLE + SPACE LAUNCH ASSETS, ETC. IN SE IRAN???

SEA OF OMAN = Weirdly + mysteriously aka WHERE IRAN CAN PREEMPTIVELY STRIKE US CVNS + EBGS???

Just sayin.

* FYI SAME > As per RosCosmos, RUSSIA is planning for a MANNED MOON SHOT of its own come 2020.

Wanna beat POTUS NEWT? [China?] in giving the Moon formal sovereign Statehood???

Dats good - OWG-NWO, UNO-led GLOBAL SPACE DEFENSE + US GMD-SPACE DEFENSE [Other?] = GUAMANIANS + US-WORLD MAY NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT LOOKING UP INTO THE SKY COME YEAR 2030 + SEEING MOON EXPLOSIONS [Comet Apophis?].
