To a point where we bring all the skies under the domain of Iranian scientists.” Lol, yeah, it's the space turtle that infuses you with all this confidence, right? No one ever did a turtle. So, whatever other nations achieved in space travel - like, I don't know, sending a man to the moon and back when you just hit puberty - it will be Iran domineering the skies. Because everybody else will wait for you to catch up. Or what? “We are two more steps away from reaching a point of no return.

Stop moaning and groaning. Why is it that Iran is damned if it does and damned if it doesn't. Progress in science and technology should be welcomed from where ever it emanated. Don't let your hatred of Moslems blind you. Cheers Dave,

Maybe if they appreciated the "revelations" of biology as much as they do the usefulness of chemistry/physics, such theocrats would look at themselves with humility, rather than leaking utter arrogance in feigning to know that they were made in the image of an invented deity.
