President
Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad
said
Iran is
working on a
three-stage
rocket to carry
a satellite
1,000 kilometres
(more than 600
miles) into
space, Fars news
agency reported
on Thursday.
"The
country's
scientists are
working on a
three-stage
rocket that will
take us to 1,000
kilometres,"
Ahmadinejad,
quoted by Fars,
told a local
television in
the western city
of
Hamedan.
He said the
rocket's engines
would have a
thrust of
between 120 and
140 tonnes, four
times greater
than the rocket
thrust used to
launch Iran's
first satellite
into space in
February 2009.
"Last time,
we sent a
satellite to 250
kilometres ...
Next year it
will be sent to
700 kilometres,
and the year
after that to
1,000 kilometres,"
he said.
An independent panel has warned the U.S. national
security is headed for a "train wreck" if decisive
action isn't taken to increase the size of the Navy,
improve training of U.S. military personnel and replace
aging equipment used by the military services, according
to a report from Joseph
Farah's G2 Bulletin.
In a review of the Department of Defense's
Quadrennial Defense Review process, the panel headed by
former Defense Secretary William Perry under the Clinton
administration and former National Security Adviser
Stephen Hadley under the Bush administration warned that
the United States will be unable to meet its
international commitments unless it modernizes its armed
forces.

Orders cancelled,
consumer worries
persist despite
spill being capped
Those who rely on the Gulf
of Mexico's rich fishing
grounds say there's a new
crisis brewing — convincing
skeptical consumers that the
seafood they harvest and
sell is safe to eat.
The Gulf's fisheries are
beginning to reopen more
than three months after the
oil began gushing from the
sea floor, but those in the
seafood industry say that
doesn't mean everything has
returned to normal.
"We have a huge perception
problem," said Ewell Smith,
director of the Louisiana
Seafood Promotion and
Marketing Board. "We have
lost markets across the
country, and some of them
may be lost for good."
