دوست عزیز, جفنگیات این دار و دسته رو ول کن. اینها تقریبا همشون مشکلشون اینه که نمیتونن در عمق جریانات فرو برن و دلایل فرستادن یک همچین ماهواره ای رو درست بفهمن و درک کنند. ببین کیا ماهواره به آسمون فرستادن: روسیه, شوروی, اکراین, هند, جمهوری اسلامی, کره شمالی....یه مشت گدا گشنه که تقریبا همشون از رو اهداف پیشه پا افتاده سیاسی و تبلیغاتی اینکار ها رو کردن. وقتی امریکا, انگلیس, فرانسه, ژاپن, ...ماهواره هوا میکنن, اینها قبلش جامعه خودشون رو جمع و جور کردند حالا دنبال اهداف پژوهشی هستند و استفاده های علمی میبرن. خودت تموشا کن دیگه, همین ۴پا رو ببین, چطور با دومش گردو میشکونه و بشکن میزنه واسه یه همچین پروژه کاملا بیربط و کاملا تبلیغاتی. دقیقا واسه امثال همین ۴پا اینها رو میسازن, که اینا رو گرم نگاهشون دارن, همیشه در صحنه باشن. مثلا فکرشو بکن امثال ایران و کره شمالی و هند.. چه احتیاج واجبی به ماهواره و اون ۴ تا عکس مفنگی دارن که آلمان و سوئد و ایتالیا و کانادا و هلند ندارن؟ آدم خندش میگیره. هرکدوم از این کشور ها بشمر ۳ میتونن ۱۰۰ برابر بهترش رو بفرستن هوا, ولی آخه به چه دلیل؟ به چه سبب؟ وقتی احتیاجی نیست؟ وقتی دولت ها, دولت های عقب مونده جهان سومی نیستند که برای تبلیغ هم که شده, ده ها میلیارد دلار سرمایه ملت رو آتیش میزنن؟ خوب میرن اون ده ها ملیون رو خرج پروژه های جامعی , فرهنگی, اقتصادی, ورزشی...میکنن.
LOL. Talking about depth (عمق), I had not read an analysis more superficial (سطحى) and childish (بچه گانه، تخمى، و آبكى).
The "poor" countries you've mentioned are "poor" because they've decided to stand up to the hegemony of the West, namely; US and in part UK/British Commonwealth. If you see Germany has no ambition in having a missile program that would send a satellite in to space it's because more than 50 years ago it lost the battle and will to fight the Anglo-Saxon and accepted their dominance over the Germans. As long as Germany does not pose any economic, military, or political threat to the US/UK they will have no problem in getting whatever satellite technology they might need for communication, environmental and weather data gathering, or astronomy. The same hold true of Italy and other European countries you mentioned. But if a country like France, UK, or even Israel have any ambitions of any sort of independence or at least a local hegemony then you see them sending satellites quite readily and frequently.
Also, when US started investing in its space program and sending man to the moon its own black people didn't even have the right to sit on the front of buses. So please spare us the bullshit argument that the Western countries started investing in their space program only after they had fixed their social issues.
Further, the space race between West (including US, UK, France) and Soviet Union only occurred as a result of military competition and after both sides acquired advanced German missile/rocket technology and personnel and not under global technologic, economic, and political isolation and sanctions.
In addition, if you look at China (which you so conveniently omitted from your list) and if you look at India (which you so ignorantly listed as a "poor nation") you would realize that any emerging market (FYI, India is considered an emerging market not a "poor nation") that wishes to compete with Western economic, political and military interests and thus hegemony has no choice but develop its own indigenous space program. Because, the Western countries are not going to be giving these competing nations ready access to advanced satellite technology that would enable them to have independent telecommunication, weather forecasting, and spying capabilities.
Iran's space program is also a byproduct of political, economic, and security necessity for a nation that has hegemonic ambitions of its own in its own neighborhood and against the dominance and threats of not only Western countries but also competing neighbors like Israel and SA.
Yes, the IRI government like any other government in the world may use any type of technologic and scientific achievement/advancement as means of propaganda to bolster its own image but that doesn't necessarily mean that in this case the government is investing in the space program only for the sake of propaganda. They are investing in it because there is a need for it and if their investment so happens to bear some fruit then they'll try to squeeze some propaganda out of it as well. But to try to belittle or trivialize the accomplishment of the scientist and technicians because you simply don't like the politicians' dirty propaganda is simply stupid and ignorant at best.
