#2 Oh boy! The mad mullahs are trying to master re-entry technology now. That is what this is about, sending them up is the easy part, having them come back down where you ~~aim~~ want is the hard part, gee like we can't figure out what that might lead to. Man they're sly.

#3 What the hell is a "regional superpower" ?

There are regional powers, great powers, super powers and (in French parlance) hyper powers.

Someone once remarked that the correct title should have been: "I aim for the stars...but sometimes I hit London!!"

#5 I firmly believe in the mullahs' dream of getting into outer space. In fact, I wouldn't charge a dime to cheerfully help boot all of them out the airlock at once.

#6 Now I know why I read Rantburg- very cleverly educational Justrand. Iran conquering the final frontier: just what the 11th Imam ordered. I'm so worried I'm breaking out my water-pipe right now.
