The first publicized space rocket success during the Rouhani administration.
IT is prudent for any Nation that aspires to make some steps in high technology to start from the bottom rather than starting from the top -WISE decision by the establishment for applying this principle!
Here in Nevada for a number of years now,we make and launch lots of these large scale model rockets into the upper atmosphere and wait for their return by parachute.
Good for you!!!!????

It seems that the radiation left in Nevada deserts has affected you, as you are acting like a 10 year old.
I would like to know, whether Victoria Nuland will describe this launch as a violation of the Security Council resolutions, regarding rocket launchings.
It is interesting that the main authors haven't "expressed" their opinions YET, regarding that matter in the past as well as at present.

This is a medium range guided missile not a "large scale model rocket",and I seriously doubt that your model rocket would achieve an altitude in excess of 50,000ft much less reach space carrying a living primate and returning it alive to earth as the iranians have done.Good on them
