> It's a rocket.

It's not a rocket, it's a piece of paper. It's a contract for the development of a prototype of a rocket. And yet this piece of paper is the basis for President Fernandez's boast, “We are proud to be one of the ten countries in the world with the capacity to put satellites into orbit." Note the present tense. Note the plural. Remember the proverb about counting your chickens before they've hatched.

The article is meticulous in naming every public official anywhere near the celebration, and generous in spending vast space quoting the glowing rhetoric of many speeches, but I can't discern any concrete accomplishment like actually launching a rocket or putting a satellite into orbit.
