#2 The (Super Islamic) Supreme National Space Council (of Iran) also known as the Council of Boskone. You can count on the fact they want to use space for "peaceful" purposes because they are allanists.

Maybe they should spend some of that money moving their citizens out of rammed earth housing and mud huts that kill them everytime there is an earthquake instead of "space" first.

#3 Sounds like a(nother) good argument for going full speed ahead with national missile defense.

#6 If done right(keywords)rammed earth housing is damnded good.It can be stronger than masonry block,the secret is to use the right mixture of sand,clay,cement,re-enforcing wire,with lots of tamping.Large parts of the Great Wall are rammed earth and all they used is sand,clay,with willow branches as a binder.

#7 Well their construction is just dirt most places. When a quake hits you are buried in it.

#8 In a quake masonry block burys you too. It really doesn't matter what the brick, block, stone it is, masonry comes apart when shaken or stirred. That's why all current brick/stone you see in Caliphornia is faux and all foundations are poured. Wood frame would be a lot better.

#9 One of the goals is "achieving....cultural .... development through this technology."
Now that should be interesting to watch -- cultural change in Mullahland. Or is it someone else's culture that they plan on changing?
