Iraqi space program set to launch first astronaut

Recommended Posts

Most people haven't heard anything about this yet because it has been kept out of the spotlight for the last year. The final test launches were done last week and they are set to launch their first astronaut, not only are they the first country from this part of the world to put someone into space but they are breaking all kinds of social barriers in the middle east by putting a woman up first.

The launcher itself looks kind of crude but it seemed to work, all the test probes were launched successfully and splashed back down with no problems. I was lucky enough to be on site for all of this , I'm sure you can pick me out in the pictures. The first ones are of the test probes getting launched and the last one is the female astronaut in the launcher, she wasn't the slightest bit nervous about her upcoming trip.

there's nothing more entertaining than scoring a direct hit on someones face with a water balloon travelling at a high rate of speed;)

I've become notorious around here for pulling pranks like this, and for a few other reasons. I caught wind the other day that most of the Air Force units on the base have briefed all their females not to go near the Special Forces compound and to stay away from a guy named Dan, I don't know what it is, I'm just so popular:P

It's probably due to many of them having to go on sick call for treatment of sore and swollen genitals.

I doubt it, I'm not nearly well-endowed enough to do that:P;)
