President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that he’s ready to take the risk of being the first Iranian astronaut sent into space.
Good idea. I’m pretty sure America has some laser satellites that need testing.
ADDENDUM: For some reason, I keep picturing Ahmadinejad in space as John Cleese:
Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it’s cold as hell
And there’s no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science, I don’t understand
It’s just my job five days a week
I’m a rocket man, a rocket man………………..
First astronaut, second monkey.
I was thinking more Harlan Williams.
They could hire me to set the resulting orbital elements of the rocket’s flight path…
…highly elliptical with a perigee of -10 miles.
On-board computer: Halal 9000.

Now that they have a drone, Ahmadinejad can star in a remake of Dr. Strangelove.
“Excellency, for your launch vehicle we are going to need another booster.”
“Rocket?”
“Seat.”
One small step for Imam, one giant leap toward 72 virgins for an idiot.
“I believe that this nation should be committed…”
“Yep.”
“… by the end of this decade, to putting an imam on the moon. And do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are jihad.”
“Yay.”
Just tell him that heat shields are a Zionist thing.
“‘Some men see things as they are and say ‘why?’ I dream things that never were and say why not blow yourself up.”
Talk is cheap Mahmoud!
The monkey says you’re a coward!
“Open the pod bay doors, Halal.
“Sorry, Mahmoud, I can’t do that.”
“Why not?”
“I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and that is something I cannot allow to happen.”
“May 1000 camels defecate on your circuits, Halal!!!”
“I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.”
(~Bacon! to Oppo!)
“President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that he’s ready to take the risk of being the first Iranian astronaut sent into space.”
..He’s just waiting for Richard Branson to launch “72 Virgins Space Flights”.
I hope he spends 444 days in space.
Would you really want to fly in a ship made by the Iranian Low Bidder ?
You all did see the ‘stealth fighter’ they showed-off, right?
I’m surprised their monkey wasn’t the one who discovered Pluto’s two new moons, if nothing else the naming contest would have led to much outrage and violence.
