The Telegraph is reporting that Iran attempted to launch a monkey into space, and failed.
Why? Frankly I haven’t taken their space program seriously, other than as front for missile development, so I wonder what they have in mind?

They clearly have not taken advantage of NASA’s outreach programs.
Yes, Iran should take the honor of launching the first head of state into space. This should be followed by North Korea launching the first diety into space.
I thought the monkey was their head of state.
You are missing the most obvious explanation – they were VERY cross with that particular monkey.
Oh, I’m sure the monkey was a female homosexual christian hiker. It had it coming.
Leland, everyone knows that being sent to the moon is the penalty for wise-cracking.
Clearly, the monkey is the warhead guidance system…
