Malaysian in Space....arggh! so leceh!
The programme is called roti canai in space - named after the flaky griddle-cooked pancake that Malaysians love to eat for breakfast.
Scientists will be sent to America, and put to work researching the best way of delivering roti canai and other dishes like coconut rice, fried noodles and of course teh tarik, literally "pulled tea", to its intrepid explorers.
However, they may have to remind their spacemen that though they weigh nothing while in zero gravity, they may end up weighing rather more when they return to earth, if they eat too much.
Meanwhile religious scholars will be asked to tackle other problems, such as finding ways to help Muslim astronauts face Mecca as they pray while in orbit.
First, not to mention how blur BBC are for using "satay celup shop" image to represent an article that talking about roti canai... Malaysian wanto go to space now and the we are in the eye of the world!
Why? I think we are damm troublesome.
First, need to think for our "beloved" food - roti canai (I never like roti canai, am I not a Malaysia? Why not my favorite Cha Siu Fun?).
Second, need to think of our batik style.
Then, if he/she is a muslim, need to think of how to pray in zero gravity condition.
What else next?
- Public SMS Vote to choose "Malaysian Astronaute"?
- How to sing negaraku in space, without gas tank?
Afterall, Malaysian going to space is a joke to me, there is no scientific beneficial to the country, we not going up there to do research. It is just all about "FACES".
If I am the Russians, I might as well bring a monkey up with me as it will be much simple!
I will never be proud of with Malaysia Astronaute, except he is the right person that going up to the space to do the right things.
For example, Mark Shuttleworth that founded Cononical and pushing Linux Ubuntu distro, and most important, he go to space to do the right thing:
From wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Shuttleworth):
Shuttleworth gained worldwide fame on 25 April 2002 as a civilian cosmonaut aboard the Russian Soyuz TM-34 mission, paying approximately US$ 20 million. Two days later, the Soyuz spacecraft arrived at the International Space Station, where he spent eight days, participating in experiments related to AIDS and genome research. On 5 May, he returned to Earth. In order to participate on the flight, Shuttleworth had to undergo one year of training and preparation, including seven months spent in Star City, Moscow.
