Ahmadinejad wants to be Iran’s first astronaut
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Monday that he’s ready to take the risk of being the first Iranian astronaut sent into space as part of Iran’s goal of a manned space flight.
“I’m ready to be the first Iranian to sacrifice myself for our country’s scientists,” the official IRNA news agency quoted him as saying in an address to space scientists in Tehran.
Space tourist Anousheh Ansari was the first Iranian to make a journey into space aboard a Soyuz TMA-9 capsule from Baikonur, Kazakhastan, in September 2006. The 40-year-old telecommunications entrepreneur paid a reported $20 million for a space station visit. Her journey became an inspiration to women in male-dominated Iran.
Iran sent a monkey into space last Monday, describing the launch a successful step toward Tehran’s plan to send an astronaut into space within the next five to six years. The monkey named “Pishgam,” which means pioneer in Farsi, reportedly traveled 120 kilometers (72 miles) and safely returned to Earth.
In 2010, Iran said it launched an Explorer rocket into space carrying a mouse, a turtle and worms.
Iran’s space officials say Iran will launch a bigger rocket carrying a larger animal to obtain greater safety assurances before sending a man into space.
Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said Iran will soon send a satellite into space from its Imam Khomeini space center, which is still under construction.

Sure he wants to take a chance with his own life.
I’m guessing he must have really pissed off the Ayatollah this time.

Shouldn’t the monkey’s name be pissgam instead of pishgam. And wasn’t the idea of Pigs ( pigs are smarter than monkeys) In Space 1st done by the Muppets. I’d like to see him blast off with Link Hogthrob and Miss Piggy etc. Should be good for a few laughs at the expense of the friggin Iranians and their lousy excuse for a leader. Maybe we could get Barry to go with him, we’ll tell them its a skeet shooting trip to outer space.

Ground Control to Ahmadinajad
Ground Control to Ahmadinajad
Take your cyanide pills and put your suicide vest on
This is Ground Control to Ahmadinajad
You’ve really made the weapons grade (uranium)
And the papers want to know whose dinner jackets you wear
Now it’s time to swallow the capsule if you dare
Ground Control to Ahmadinajad
Your circuit’s dead, there’s something wrong
Can you hear me, Ahmadinajad?
Can you hear me, Ahmadinajad?
“Am I floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon, my face is turning blue
And there’s nothing I can do?”
Tell my goat I love her
I’ll meet my virgins soon
My time has come, Allahu Akbar, KABOOM!
