Iran Launches first space rocket (from worldnetdaily.com)

Iran launches first space rocket

Apparently Iran has been testing rockets, and is also importing missile defense systems from russia. The article has a lot of different topics in it, and it could be a good tie in to all of the things going on lately.

Communication cables cut, their announcement on their new oil project, and recent hick ups between israel/palestine....the middle east is upside down right now.

Not sure why I have not heard anything else on this, to me it seems like a pretty large step for Iran to be taking (without an official US comment...or even an official ANYBODY comment...)

It's been fairly widely publicized, but with the Super Bowl and all, some things don't get mentioned as much they might need to be, like national security and emerging nuclear capabilities and delivery systems for nuclear weapons among avowed belligerent nations.
