Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said he’s ready to be the first Iranian astronaut sent into space as part of Iran’s goal of manned space flight.

Ahmadinejad says he’s willing to sacrifice his life for Iran’s ambitious space program.

His comments were reported on Monday by the official IRNA news agency.

Iran sent a monkey into space last Monday, describing the launch a successful step toward Tehran’s plan to send an astronaut into space within the next five to six years.

The monkey named “Pishgam,” or “Pioneer” in Farsi, reportedly traveled 72 miles into space and then safely returned to Earth.

In 2010, Iran said it launched an Explorer rocket into space carrying a mouse, a turtle and worms.

    As a monkey he is perfectly qualified for such a mission.

      If so many people are thinking the same thing, apparently its true.

      Anyhow, we wanted to say that finally, a real iranian monkey, will made it to the stars.

    ”A mouse, a turtle and worms…” sounds like a start of a very good bedtime story. Taking the risk of repeating ourselves, we must ask this question: why in the world every news that Farsi is publishing have to be a Farce ?

    Q: How many Iranians does it take to launch a rocket?
    A: One hundred – One to light the fuse and 99 to hold everyone else hostage.

    When Ahmadinejad will pay a visit to Jerusalem, we all will have an opportunity to thanks him for keeping us so high entertained.
