Would have helped if they had waited for the ship to return before parading the hero monkey out.

Easy ! Space launches remove moles from over right eyes on monkeys. It has just been proven by the Iranians. Miraculous !!

[Bobalu]

How special.

Iran may have done something that Werner Von Braun could have done in the 40’s.

Von Braun also said he could place men an Mars by 1985 if given the funding. I think he could have. $$$ was the only thing holding him back. What a shame he was involved with the Nazis early in his career.

IMO they should have sent Ahmadinejad up in the rocket even though he is not nearly as photogenic as the monkey.

Just wonder when we will have the Iran Apologists come out and claim the media is “lying”....like the did with the nuke facility explosion

[Eye of Unk]

Iran just cannot get a sunny day it seems, their bomb plant goes kablooie, their floating drill rig sinks, and their monkey apparently has a severe malfunction, was it rare or well done?

This is ISLAM - lies and deceit are a way of life - the point being is that they have Gone to Infinity and Beyond - this is what happens when you give an undeveloped society satellite TV and they watch Star Trek and actually believe James T. Kirk is real...

Iran is a looser - but dangerous because they have oil money and hate the US - so they get to play like the big boys do - but it never ends well...at least for the rest of us!

The monkey did not survive?....Ya Think!

[N. Theknow]

Monkey died?

So, they need a new president now?

[JZoback]

Wow...looking at the monkey pictures at the link .... The Iranians can’t even find two monkeys that look remotely the same...

They kill the first one and replace him with another monkey that isn’t even close in looks....

Sort of like replacing Joe Biden with Al Franken and Jay Carney tells us they are the same person....

Where is PETA when you need them.

[Flick Lives]

No minkeys were harmed!

[SampleMan]

Alive, not alive, What does it matter now?

Iran's monkey may not actually have made it back from space alive

I heard it had an effect on his eyesight!!

[adorno]

The Independent both noticed that while the monkey seen in press shots had a prominent mole over one eye, there was no sign of it when the animal appeared later at a press conference

The Iranian space people might have found a means to removing moles from faces, and they could be soon offering shots into space for people who need to have moles removed.

The animated bear originally selected for the mission was caught trying to escape.

[BitWielder1]

All they need is a Scud missile aimed straight up and two monkeys.
Based on the range of a scud, if you shoot it straight up it will go high enough to qualify as "space" and then come down again. Hard.
That's when the second monkey will prove useful.

I'm in full support of Ahmadinejad manning their second launch. But with our luck they probably have two of him also.
