Iran's Space Launchers and Solid Missiles
Iran tested a satellite launch vehicle, and it failed. But this isn't a reason to cheer.
Iran showed off a lot of goodies this month, pointing to an active solid-propellant missile program and has no said a future satellite launch is going to use a solid-propellant space launch vehicle.
This is bad news.
Aaron and Jeffrey talk about Iran's space program and why we should embrace the Simorgh and worry about the future.
