| Anonymous Coward User ID: 27450644 United States01/17/2013 01:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Iran plans to send a live monkey into orbit next month on a satellite carrier to restart its fledgling space program. Quoting: smilesun A prior attempt to send a primate into space reportedly failed in 2011. Hamid Fazeli, head of the Iranian Space Agency, told the Mehr News agency of Tehran that the "testing phase of these living capsules has ended and monkeys to be sent to space are now in quarantine. "Monkeys have similarities to humans, so by observing them in space, we can examine human factors in space," he added. Subject to a successful test run, ISA projects it will be able to send a man into outer space in five to eight years. Iran reportedly aspires to send an astronaut to the moon by 2025. Fazeli also stated: "These monkeys will be sent into space according to a timetable on Fajr Ceremonies," referring to the 10-day period in early February when the Iranian Revolution of 1979 is commemorated. That suggests the launch would have to be done by mid-February. The primate (or primates) will be aboard a satellite called Pishgam (Pioneer). Read more [link to www.ibtimes.com] |

A variety of Russian experts over the past few years have said Tehran intends to use space launch vehicle technology to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles systems that could reach targets throughout most of the Middle East, said a report from the CIA that monitored Russian media and government statements. It literally could be monkey business. But we wont know until long after this article is gone.....

I will agree to the extent that it could be many reasons, and we do not know exclusively their intention is for military purposes, but I think we should be aware this intention is being looked at as a viable reason. The thing is, we can't argue a hypothetical point, because neither of have yet to learn the outcome of this, but it is smart to be aware and cognizant of all possibilities and ramifications. |
