Hostile Cube Shaped Spacecraft Spotted!!!

Ooops not the Borg just Iran...

^I'm guessing that's a 35mm camera someone had laying around...

Quote:

The new Iranian satellite weighs about 110 pounds (50 kilograms) and was built by students at the Sharif University of Technology

Telstar 1 sounds more advanced...

Quote:

Iranian Space Agency officials have said in the past that they are aiming to launch a human into space by 2020 and land an astronaut on the moon by 2025.

It was first spotted by the crew of another satellite.

Please tell me that's a mock up and not the real thing sitting in a conference room next to a fiber spewing flag directly under the overhead air vents...

Have these jokers never heard of a clean room?

Fiber is a good thing. Don't want the satellite to get plugged up or anything.

(if they only gave up all the crap and focused science)

Few questions:

1. Is there unfilled jobs in Comedy Channel? I think we have found potential candidate for the job.

2. Why Iran needs five ground stations to control their satellite?

and last but not leaast...

3. Isn't human in space in 2020 and lunar landing in 2025 be a bit ambitious plan?

YES, I KNOW, THE MOON IS THAT WAY.

We landed a man on the moon in 12 years from the 1st satellite... of course we had Nazis.

Perhaps the cube is from the Iranian nuclear facility?

If they manage to mount a scud to it......

BossMark · 02-03-12, 04:42 PM

Probably just one of these

I bet Trane is ticked off it looks just like an early 90's condenser unit they where some of the first high efficiency systems maybe Iran figured that meant in space.
