'this is a small step for me but a giant leap to the malaysian citizens. ' - Sheikh Muzaphar
hmm perhaps he meant differently but i interpreted that as a statement with a sense of excessive self-pride if not arrogance.
ahh well, i was admittedly co-nervous during the take off ( i unawarely recited the traveler's prayer as the rocket propelled from the ground!).
and did you guys watch the live broadcast from KLCC just now? that particular TV3 correspondent whose interviewing the NASA representative was such a not-supposed-to-happen blunder!
first he incorrectly pronounced Sheikh Muzaphar the
Second he unbelievably uttered to that american the word 'asngkasawan' instead of 'astronaut' while proposing a question about the apparently 'beloved' Malaysian first ASTRONAUT. (u cant deny the favouritism since the beginning. poor the-other-guy.)

Hello, he's like the VVVVVIP of that grand banquet, flown all the way from the NASA headquarter for that particular event; went to space 5 freaking times and u dare say I THINK? GOsH u so unqualified to be representing TV3. Farid Ridzwan, fire him now!
The sheikh is also expected to be hosting a celebratory party in the light of observing the eid. party as in meals-and-chit chatting rather than alcohol-and-dancing sort.that's cool. and yeah, i hope he didn't forget about the experiments he brought along too.
Still cant believe he's an orthopaedic M.O
and oh this is the most interesting part :
His ( muzaphar) visit to the station (ISS) was agreed as part of Malaysia's billion-dollar purchase of Russian-made jets. - BBC
it costs our tax payers 3.4 billion dollars to get one Malaysian experienced the outer space for 9 days. hmm well at least there are 1 dozen and half jets as consolation prizes hehe.
to the space and beyond!!
Allah the Al mighty!
