Turkmen-Ottomano-nauts ?

Turkey invites Russia to take part in construction of country's spaceport

Turkish unveil space program including 2023 moon mission

Turk Space Launch System. The Space Group Command of the Turkish Air Force, which is being formed, will operate the spaceport when it is completed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Lau … m_(Turkey)

Iran is also launching rockets, Blocked and Sanctioned by the U.S. Department of State and many other countries, they want Iranian space satellites. Seems mohammedanism in outer space might bizarrely become a thing. Saudi and Afghan and others have already traveled on the STS Shuttle or Soviet Soyuz. Scientists from the USA and a Japanese rocket carrier already launched a Mars mission for a sharia Law nation, the UAE Dubai Emirates mission to Mars.  Relations with Turkey have gone backward since the Admins of George Bush Jnr, Obama and Trump, the Turkish started launching their own operations into Northern Iraq, Erdogan has " intervened" in Syria, Libya, and Azerbaijan, they are involved with Armenia, often using jihadists as proxies.  The USA might have indirectly supported the idea of a replacement for Erdogan, while Erdogan doesnt seem to have many allies any more, he has arrested his own political people at home, purged the military and has alienated just about every Nation in the region. The USA also did not like the idea of Assad, but then ISIS was seen as the bigger threat, the Turkish have direct involvement in the Syrian civil war, Turkey also annoy the Israelis when they call Israel the "terrorist" state, seek to 'save Jerusalem'. At one time Turkey was considered to join the Eurozone, become part of the EU, these days Turks form an alliance with the Russians or Iran, there have been dramatic moves up and down in the stock market, Turkish Central bank and Bitcoin in Turkey. Erdogan has pushed for a greater Islamification in Turkey, including mixing the Turkish verison of islam with geopolitics of oil and gas, pipelines, the petrodollar, and the Kurds. The Ottoman Caliphate Empire has been around hundreds of years, it prayed to the warmonger pedophile prophet of islam called moohammad a man muslims believe a prophet, it was a Caliphate Empire that ran from year 1299 to 1924. President Mustafa Kemal Atatürk reformed Turkey into a modern country, he envisaged Turkey as a secular republic, an ideology known as Kemalism. Erdogan is accused by the West of setting Turkey backwards, support ISIS and promoting islamism, he launched an ambitious Turkish space roadmap, perhaps a robot landing on the moon by 2023, Turkish SLV, spaceport among other things.

Maybe there are worse ideas to put from Earth into space, other Doomsday death cults, people could launch crazy religious zealot ideas into space like Aum Shinrikyo, Branch Davidians or some modern Mexican gang death cult that worships the gods of Aztec?  The timeline seems ambitious, extremely short, can they really reach the moon or is this just propaganda?

BILSAT-1 was a Turk earth observation satellite, BILSAT-1 was launched from Plesetsk Cosmodrome Site 132/1, Arkhangelsk Oblast in Russia by a Kosmos-3M space launch.

Re: Turkmen-Ottomano-nauts ?

Turkey's Erdogan wins 5th term as president, extending rule into 3rd decade

https://www.aol.com/news/voters-turkey- … 51319.html

Duringt he ColdWar Turkey was seen as an Ally against the USSR, relations between Turkey and the USA are mixed or getting worse the past decades, Erdogan has seen a shift to islamism away from Secularist Turkey, the countries began to deteriorate in 2003 as Turkey refused to allow the United States to use Incirlik Air Base for the invasion of Iraq, a process that intensified following the coup d'état attempt in Turkey in July 2016 as the country's foreign policy gradually shifted towards seeking partnerships with other regional powers, such as Russia, as well as the dispute over the Armenian genocide, which the United States recognized in 2021. A 2019 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center showed 73% of Turks had a negative view of the United States, with only 20% having a positive view, the lowest among countries polled. In May of 2017, clashes broke out between Turkey's Police Counter Attack Team and a crowd of protesters outside the Turkish Ambassador's residence in Washington, D.C. 24 men were filmed attacking protesters, with some protesters being kicked while curled in the fetal position as Erdogan looked on and civil lawsuits are still ongoing. On August 1, 2018, the US Department of Treasury imposed sanctions on top Turkish government officials who were involved in the detention of Brunson. Daniel Glaser, the former Treasury official under Obama, said: "It's certainly the first time I can think of" the U.S. sanctioning a NATO ally. On August 10, 2018, Trump imposed punitive tariffs against Turkey after an impasse over Brunson's imprisonment and other issues.  In year 2020 the House of Representatives approved a sanctions package against Turkey due to its purchase of S-400 missile system from Russia. Trump administration said that the president will veto the bill. Trump had earlier worked to delay passing sanctions against Turkey, but he lost the 2020 United States presidential election. In December, 2020, the United States imposed the sanctions on Turkey, and the sanctions included a ban on all U.S. export licenses and authorizations to SSB and an asset freeze and visa restrictions on Dr. Ismail Demir, SSB's president, and other SSB officers. The United States also excluded Turkey from the joint F-35 project, as well as barred Turkey from approaching new NATO technological development.Presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden demanded that Turkey "stay out" of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia, in which Turkey has supported the Azeris. On the same time, relations between Turkey and the United States also worsened after the Turkish government hosted two Hamas leaders, in a move that was believed to be in response to the Abraham Accord, in which Israel normalized relations with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain; the Abraham Accord was opposed by Ankara

Since the 2016 coup attempt, authorities arrested or imprisoned more than 90,000 Turkish citizens

https://www.state.gov/reports/2020-coun … es/turkey/

The Turk Space Agency was formally established by a presidential decree in December 2018, one of its stated objectives or goals is Turkish citizen astronaut will be sent to space.

Another objective is that a spaceport will be established in the country. And possibly one in Somalia

Axiom Mission 3 or Michael T. Suffredini and Kamal Ghaffarian's Ax-3 is a planned private spaceflight to the International Space Station. The flight, scheduled to launch no earlier than November 2023, will be operated by Axiom Space and use Elon Musk's Space X Crew Dragon spacecraft from a US Spaceport.

and commercial movies?

Jim Bridenstine once promised the filming of a Tom Cruise movie on the ISS

electricity and power on Earth?

Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant the only large nuclear power plant in Turkey and is under construction expected to generate around 10% of the country's electricity when completed, Russia and Turkey signed an agreement. The site might never see a Tsunami and was undamaged by the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake? high-level waste will be returned to Russia.

Re: Turkmen-Ottomano-nauts ?

Turkey seems to have a guy on Axiom-3

relations between the USA and Turkey are less friendly maybe coolish

It got complicated with them attacking Kurds and the Bush jnr invasion of Iraq, there was immigration invasion routes to Europe, a coup d'état attempt in Turkey in July 2016 as the country's foreign policy gradually shifted towards seeking partnerships with other regional powers, such as Russia, as well as the dispute over the Armenian genocide and now Russia invading Ukraine and Turkic culture seem to be playing both sides East and West.

ten objectives

Turkey Recasts ‘Top Gun’ to Give Its TV Soft Power a Harder Edge
https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/turke … 00103.html

Free Sky, a new Turkish fighter pilot television drama that local media have dubbed a homegrown Top Gun, isn’t just channeling Tom Cruise’s heroics in the cockpit. Like the 1986 American blockbuster, Free Sky was made in collaboration with real air force pilots and equipment used by the Turkish military.

It’s the latest of a growing crop of Turkish shows heralding a hard-power pivot for a lucrative soft-power sector that’s built a global audience of millions, so far mostly with romantic Istanbul melodramas and historical tales of Ottoman conquest.

Other examples include The Shadow Team — a local equivalent to US spy thrillers like Amazon Prime’s Jack Ryan or Apple TV’s Tehran — about Turkish intelligence agency MIT, and The Patriots, a new show this year about an elite army unit deployed abroad to counter “global powers.”

“In the past we’d have been saying the Japanese build these,” one character says in an episode of The Shadow Team as she inspects a kamikaze drone model. “Now it’s us making them.”

Initially made for domestic audiences, the shows are now at the forefront of international expansion by state broadcaster TRT, projecting Turkish interests abroad just as Ankara flexes its military and diplomatic muscles in contested theaters from Syria and Libya to Ukraine and the waters of the east Mediterranean.

TRT is preparing to launch an online streaming service, Tabii, with apps in English, Arabic, Spanish and Urdu later this year, leapfrogging traditional export routes dominated by foreign networks and distributors to access viewers directly.
