LH,

As often is the case, you do not pay attention to the details.

"First Iranian satellite launched "

The 2005 launch was on a launch vehicle (Russian Kosmos 3M ) from Russia, and it was the first Iranian SATELLITE to be launched.



"Iran launched its first satellite into orbit Monday using a modified homemade long-range missile"

This launch was on an Iranian launch vehicle, thus it was the first launched BY IRAN.


If this is confusing to you, how do you expect to make any judgements at all about the relative hazards and risks of either the Iranian space or nuclear programs?



"BB, they have been ready to drop an A-bomb on YOU from space ever since October 2005! And I know how much you love and trust the Russians too. "

No, since the Russians are sane enough ( I think ) NOT to allow a warhead to be launched on their booster ( unless they do it themselves).


Better start looking up- the N. Koreans are testing a launch vehicle that can reach Canada. THEY might put a live warhead on it, just to see if it works.
