#1 Big deal. Getting a man into space is indeed a challenge. Getting him home safely is much more of a challenge.
Russia has a huge amount of territory where an astronaut could land. The US has a word wide fleet that can pick up an astronaut who lands in the ocean.
Iran has neither of those. Getting the astronaut to land in Iran means hitting a fairly small target from space.

#7 Why am I picturing a guy standing on a largish metal plate over the first Iranian atom bomb test rig?

#8 See, Charlie Bolden's plans to boost the self esteem of Muslims is already taking effect!

(I don't need to add a 'sarc tag', do I?)
