Dr Sheikh Muzhaphar Shukor will be the country’s first Astronaut

PM was expected to announce our first astronaut today. However, after waiting one hour for the announcement, he did not announce it but only saying that both of them are qualified to be astronaut. Then, who is our first astronaut? Just ask Nasa!

  7. tak payah bio doc, aku ngan dia satu sekolah kat SPI dulu. Tapi sekejap je lah sebelum dia belah pi MRSM. Tak sangka dia akan jadi hero Malaysia tak lama lagi.

  8. haha azwan. aku rase ko pon leh jadi hero gak. aku tgk ko lebih kurang hensem juga . hehe

  9. Kuc, diorang kata astronaut tuh adalah satu kerjaya. Maknanya kerja astronaut. Kalau dalam resume : apa pekerjaan anda? Jawapan: astronaut tapi spaceflight participant ni cam pelancong lah… saja-saja nak hantar untuk tengok angkasa sebab kerajaan bayar duit. Aku dapat email alh cam tuh. betul ke tak tak tau..

  10. aku setuju dengan pendapat..yg len..klu tgk kt blog yg len pon ade tulis yg msian nih hanye spaceflight participant…rr..camtu laa..

  11. @adib, cuba tgk link spacefact yg aku bagi kat atas tuh. orang luar bleh iktiraf malaysian as research cosmonaut la.
