If the test is successful, "tries" is inappropriate for the title. Sherurcij 02:38, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is not clear if it was successful per sources. However, I neither wrote nor published this story. --SVTCobra 15:20, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The importance of this article comes from the fact that if Iran has successfully developed rocket technology, they can deliver any object of a certain size into orbit. With Iran possibly producing nuclear warheads, a successful rocket (missile) launch could have great ramifications. Once something's in orbit, it's near trivial to bring it back down anywhere in the world --72.188.51.197 15:14, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone fix the spelling in the title? 70.42.125.195 21:09, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Someone who knows should replace the word "Russia" in paragraph four with the name of the country that used Russian technology as a basis for a launch vehicle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.221.168.135 (talk) 16:27, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is correct as written. Russia launched its first satellite in 1992. The Soviet Union, of course, launched the first human-made satellite and many others. However, Russia is not Soviet Union. --SVTCobra 16:43, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
