thomas Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 they may be the first to have a satillite in space but their satillite was made by the Russians and so was their equipment, they took the pansy way in, US and Russia made everything themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoLogiX Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 no wonder using Russian sattelite, at least they can have serious defence from 'the hatred', massive islam discrimination & some provoke to involve next world warIMHO: NUCKE IS NECESSARY FOR MOSLEM COUNTRY FOR FINAL COUNTDOWN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Scytale, it says "locally made". The design is Russian.Plus it would be ridiculous to make a new design from scratch. Only superpowers like the US and the SU could afford to put that many billions into research. Besides you couldn't hope to improve over their designs anyway.

Edric O Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Nigeria became the latest country to join the race for space, launching a satellite from northwestern Russia last September.On December 27, Israel launched its second commercial communications satellite from Kazakhstan from a Russian Soyuz launch vehicle.LOL, the Russians are the world's official provider of space technology. :)Maybe NASA should wake up one of these days...

Anathema Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Better yet, ESA should wake up, and increase funding. Especially after their latest failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 You think NASA would make good money selling space technology? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude_Doc Posted January 8, 2004 Author Share Posted January 8, 2004 NASA should wake up already. They've got PRC right on their tales, which has the moon in sight 2020 and probably Mars somewhere 2035-40.Besides that, isn't Iran the most "technological advanced" Islamic nation on Earth?

Sardauker-Kirov Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 I thought that Turkey was the most advanced Islamic country?I could be wrong though.. ::)Designing one would be more expensive than building one and it's quite a breakthrough for Iran if they manage to launch a billion dollars worth project...

Dude_Doc Posted January 9, 2004 Author Share Posted January 9, 2004 I thought that Turkey was the most advanced Islamic country?Yes, you're probably right.But I guess I was wrong about NASA... or the US space program, at least after reading this link: http://edition.cnn.com/2004/TECH/space/01/09/bush.space/index.html2018... that's not far of.

Dunenewt Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Nigeria's a muslim country and it launched a satellite already didn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 The former USSR has lots of spare equipment and so on, and Kazakhstan is a good place from which to set off, due to its location in terms of latitude (and existing facilities). The ESA's Mars Express set off from there six months ago.What NASA can learn is that they're being rather inefficient... Granted Beagle 2 hasn't been found, but if it were to have landed correctly, it would have only cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sardauker-Kirov Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Turjey = Turkey?99% of the people in Turkey are muslims, the %1 are likely Christian or Hindu.If it wasn't a Islamic country then the Babylons would still be present in these days.And hell, if I were forced to live in a Islamic country I'd rather pick Turkey.Turkey isn't a bad country compared to the others Islamic nations.Maybe you're right about Turkey, since it's the central country pressed in between Asia, Middle East, Europe. It could be a multi-culture land.Half of the Turks look alot like Europeans with the facial identities...Methinks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
