Ada apa dengan angkasa lepas

Updates: Our Mr. future-astronaut will also spin traditional Malay tops or known as 'Gasing' if you might wana know, and do batik painting in the space.

Really, what's all this for???!!!

Quoted from TheStar:
“Schoolchildren will be further motivated to increase their interests in science and technology when our astronaut holds a live teleconference with students from several selected schools,” she said, adding that the astronaut would also conduct several experience on micro-gravity in front of the television camera.” ‘She’ --- is refering to Agriculture Ministry parliamentary secretary Rohani Abdul Karim, who was replying on behalf of the Science, Technology and Innovations Ministry.

I have doubts whether the schoolchildren will be truly inspired. Don’t ask me why. Go ask the children.

Our Mr. astronaut-wannabe will board a Russian rocket for eight days of space travel on Sept 2 next year (2007). Millions of RM for 8 days in space -- a place without oxygen, gravity, food, water etc., where we human cannot live in. You do the calculation, and tell me does it worth.

Of course you can say that it’s worth for satellite communication, RF transmission and reception bla bla bla…but I still maintain my stance.

My suggestion would be: take the money to reduce pollutions on Earth so that we’ll have a better place to live, for a longer time. Love our mother nature more lah, duhh.

Assalamualaikum,
Jangan tak pasal-pasal nak pergi angkasa lepas je, tapi takda kapal angkasa sendiri. Nak main batu, gasing, buat teh tarik dan batik kat sana pula tu. Adakah patut? Entah-entah ada buat eksperimen yang betul-betul berfaedah untuk negara, kan? Alahai, apa dah jadi? Sesiapa yang bijaksana tolong bagi tau aku ya. Sekian, terima kasih.
Wassalam.
