Background
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has declared he is prepared to risk his life and become the first human to be sent into space by his country's fledgling space programme.
"I am ready to be the first human to be sent to space by Iranian scientists," Ahmadinejad told a group of scientists in Tehran gathered to celebrate the country's space achievements, according to the semi-official Mehr news agency. Ahmadinejad was speaking at an event organised for the anniversary celebration of the 1979 Islamic revolution.
"Sending living things into space is the result of Iranian efforts and the dedication of thousands of Iranian scientists," he said.
It was unclear if the suggestion was a serious one, but one group of Iranians declared they would do everything in their power to help Ahmadinejad achieve his goal.
