I saw our first angkasawan (cosmonaut) blasting off to the ISS during the Hari Raya shopping at the Giant hypermarket. My feeling were a mixture of exited, proud, jealous, nervous and relief. I never took a serious attention about our space mission but once I saw it blast off, I took a look on www.angkasawan.com.my and other reading material about Soyuz space craft and the International Space Station ISS.
From the www.angkasawan.com.my I straight read through the blog entry made by the Dr SMS and Dr Faiz and all the comment made by the visitor (mostly Malaysian). Most of them saying farewell and other patriotic encouragement but toward the end there are a few condemning comment, something to do with space tourist or not truly Malaysia own space program and so on. Some said we spend like RM100 millions for this space program , which I don't know is it true or not. But for me, if I had the opportunity to be selected as one of the candidate I'll be damn proud. I mean this is a chance of a life time. Go for it.
