Silly me, I thought the fact that Iran’s president informally (but publicly) accepted the terms of a nuclear deal negotiated by the US, UK, Russia, China, France and Germany was significant.

Apparently, a mouse, two turtles and a worm are worthy of more sensational headlines?

I’m a little confused here, haven’t we been sending actual people to live and research in space for decades now? Aren’t we even to the point in our relationship with space that the government is transitioning space ferrying from NASA to the private sector?

Yet somehow, the American media reports direct quotes from Ahmadinejad stating his conviction that “The scientific arena is where we could defeat the (West’s) domination”. Meanwhile an important concession made by the president of Iran in nuclear talks is remaining under the radar – and I was really looking forward to hearing the wide-eyed rantings of Liz Cheney today. Rats. I mean a mouse, two turtles and a worm?
