Iran launches two turtles and a rodent into space. Claims technological superiority over the USA.

Well, I have to give them that. I can't for the life of me recall the US launching turtles into space. Guess a couple of turtles in space beats a few guys walking on the moon... multiple times.

:D:D:D

2 turtles and a rat walk into a bar and ask the worms... Hey, why the long face???

I can see some late night TV jokes coming out of this...

(And yes I do have a day job, and am keeping it)

Re: Iran launches two turtles and a rodent into space.....

And what could they have been thinking by sending a rodent, two turtles and some worms into space? Yes, its possible to launch living creatures into space? All they need to do is read some really old history books and discover we and the Russians did it 50 years ago (and still keep doing it today). Or, are we supposed to be scared. The Iranians can now launch mice into space! OH NO! :eek:

I guess someone has to sent something out in space. I heard today that Obama's canceling US man space flights.
