What a 'tard

Do you think the guy that convinced Ahmadinejad to wear the 3d glasses got executed when he found out that they were really just to make him look stupid?

TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- Iran fired a rocket from its newly inaugurated space center Monday, laying the groundwork for what it says will be the future launch of its first domestically produced satellite, the semi-official FARS news agency reported.


President Ahmadinejad inaugurates Iran's first space center on Monday.

The "Researcher One" rocket is designed to carry a satellite into a low earth orbit.

The report said the rocket was launched "into space." But similar previous technological achievements announced by the Islamic republic have been greeted with doubt by analysts.

Monday's launch came a short time after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad inaugurated the center Monday, according to the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency.

Ahmadinejad said Iran's first step in the field of space technology had been taken wisely and precisely, IRNA reported.

"With the launch, Iran has joined the world's top 11 countries possessing space technology to build satellites, and launch rockets into space," state TV said.

In February 2007, Iran announced the launch of "its first satellite into space," the state-run Iranian Students News Agency reported at the time. But the satellite did not reach orbit.

Monday's report did not say how high the research rocket had climbed to.

Space is considered to begin at 60 miles (100 kilometers) above ground. Ham radio satellites orbit from 100 miles up, while communication, weather and global-positioning satellites fly at an altitude of between 250 and 12,000 miles, according to The Associated Press.

Amid fears in the West that Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons, some experts believe Iran's space program is possibly a cover to improve its military ballistic missiles.

    Man I remember about 50 years ago when I was in a theater with about 300 people and they all looked like that. Bunch of funny people wearing glasses made of cellophane and cardboard and multicolored lenses. What a Hoot that 3-D movie was..

    I wonder what they would give him to wear for nuclear radiation.

    A white Tyvex suit or aluminum coated kevlar.

    I cheated and googled it, so I won't post it. However, I was surprised to see that it was actually made in 1922.

    My first 3-D movie was War of The Worlds (1953) - the scene where the 'mechanical eye on a stalk' was searching the ruins for the couple had the whole place jumping and screaming! I was too scared to make a critical analysis! [:D]

    Quite effective!

    I don't believe either War of the Worlds or Creature from the Black Lagoon were 3-D, at least the versions I saw were not. My first was House of Wax with Vincent Price.


    I think the use of the term 'tard indicates a stunted vocabulary.

    I remember Fort Apache, however according to google information the first 3-D movie was only a minute long. The first real successful one was a Disney one that they still play daily at Epcot Center at Micky Mouse land here in Orlando florida, it is 17 minutes long..

    I don't believe either War of the Worlds or Creature from the Black Lagoon were 3-D, at least the versions I saw were not.Not that this is any real authoritative source, but here is an excerpt from Wikipedia:

    Creature from the Black Lagoon is a 1954 black-and-white science fiction monster film directed by Jack Arnold, and starring Richard Carlson, Julia Adams, Richard Denning, Antonio Moreno, and Whit Bissell. The eponymous creature was played by Ben Chapman on land and Ricou Browning in underwater scenes. It was released in the United States on March 5, 1954.

    It was filmed and originally released in 3-D using polarized 3D-glasses (and subsequently reissued in the 1970s in the inferior anaglyph format), and marketed as an A-Film. It is considered a classic of the 1950s, and generated two sequels, Revenge of the Creature (1955) and The Creature Walks Among Us (1956).

    Unless my memory is going completely south, which is possible, I remember the spear from the spear gun coming out of the screen and right at me!

    Back in the 80's they made one of the Jason or "Halloween" movies in 3-D. Not real sure what horror flick, but one of those. Scary as heck! I still recall a spear gun shooting out at you. But I do remember that it worked well with my date at the time. She was scared spitless!

    I have to believe you are correct Old Colt, though I certainly do not remember that. I was, of course very, very young at the time!

    It is anot mentioned as 3-D on IMBD, but a reviewer says he saw the 3-D version twice.

    I cannot find that War of the worlds was 3-D, and I saw that first run as well.

    Creature was not 3-D when I saw it, in its' original release.

    House of Wax, was.
