re: “home built satellite”

so now Ahm-a-whackjob is tinkering in his basement on the Iranian satellites? That must be where the rat, turtles, and worms came from.....

seriously, though, if Iran really can reach 300+ miles up (big “if” - has this claim been verified???) then they are attaining inter-continental potential, I would think (not that I have any expertise, but once they can reach an orbit then I’d think that ICBM status is near??)

Could be. But it would be cheaper to put it on a container ship and launch it from the Gulf of Mexico.

Either way we lack any sort of leadership that "has a pair" so we are screwed. Might be a good time to invest in buggy whips.
