To the Editor,
There was an article published in the Times on Wednesday February 3rd called Iran Sends Some Animals, and Some Ambitions into Space. The main thing that I noticed with this article was that not once did the author explain exactly what Iran claimed their spaceship was for. The only thing that the article did was imply that this spacecraft, and others that Iran has been manufacturing, are nuclear weapons in disguise. In fact Iran’s space craft was barely mentioned except to imply that the video footage that had been released was just a cover. The rest of the article was about how the U.S. keeps telling Iran to stop manufacturing nuclear weapons. I am not saying that this spacecraft was or was not a nuclear weapon, however I think that it is wrong for the author to imply that this spacecraft is any more than a space craft without presenting more facts on the subject.
