Who will be the first Malaysian Astronaut?

FM: Ok everyone...if you're to choose between the two below to become Malaysia's first Astronaut, who will you pick?

The answer is obvious isn't it? We'll pick the GOOD LOOKING ONE! That's the Malaysian way..hah hah hah. If we have a SMS contest to select the candidate...the answer will still be the same.

It is official: Dr Sheikh Muszaphar is our astronaut

PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has named Dr Sheikh Muszaphar as the “primary candidate” and Kapt Dr Faiz Khaleed as the “secondary candidate” to go to space.

There has been a lot of speculation in the past few weeks with the foreign media naming Dr Sheikh Muszaphar as Malaysia’s first angkasawan (astronaut).

The Malaysian Angkasawan will join American astronaut Peggy Whitson and Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko in the flight to the International Space Station on board the Russian Soyuz TMA-11, which will blast off from Baikanur in Kazakhstan on Oct 10.
