1st Malaysia Astronaut into Space??
Yesterday receive this email from a tutor... hahaa.. saw the topic about the recent hot issue in Malaysia... yes Malaysia Boleh...!! we hav send a malaysian up to space...
How are these ppl being chosen??.. ahhaa sorry la... i din read much newspaper... just hear about it but not in detail... the said ''astronaut'' is chosen from a shortlist of 854 people. they will hav to show their physical fitness by running 3.5 kilometers in less than 20 minutes... so on there will be all kinds of necessary trainings too..
Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor at last was shortlisted.... malaysian claim tat he is our astronaut. but actually is he really is??.... .... hahaaa mislead jor us lor... see the Nasa Website.... Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor is the spaceflight participant.... not astronaut !!
And all these programs and preparation plus sending him up the space is costing Malaysia to pay around US$25 - $30 million??... gosh.... wat a huge amount... !
and where do this amount of money come from??.. our citizen's ''blood sweat money'' la...
i jus read tis from a website.... that i think is so true...
""This amount can be better used to improve the lives of thousands, if not millions, of our fellow Malaysians. I speak from the viewpoint of a disabled person. This money can be utilised to make the environment and public transport accessible, and support people with severe disabilities who are practicing independent living. These include providing funds for personal assistants and other support services. RM102mil is a lot of money and it should be used judiciously to benefit the most number of people.""
we should use our money and benefits the most amount of ppl and not just a minimal. There are so many others richer and stronger countries that does not have an astronaut sending to space.. why are we so eager for it then??..
Btw... also have to congrats them... there is a malaysian up into space now... can record into the history book i think... hahaa
Are they planning to send 2nd ''astronaut'' up space??.... i hope not... hope they really think wisely bah....
*** hmmm will i be charged of saying all these ke??... *****

ReplyDeletefrom my point of view that Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor not a astronaut and true that he is just a spaceflight participant. if he able to be an astronaut then in 1000 thousand put of 500 can be astronaut... those gov really dont know think of what inside their shitty brain coz throw so lots of money just for this.. haih, who ask this plan is Tun Mahathir planned meh...
