No just Yahoo, the whole world (except Boleh) regard him as space traveller, where in fact, he is.

He did not actually involved in the space project. He was there there just doing his own so-called experiments (e.g. Gasing?!), floated here floated there, and maybe ‘learned’ how to operate the shuttle.

Can a astro/cosmonaut start learning how to operate the shuttle only when he/she is in the space?

The answer is NO. Space project is extremely expensive and dangerous. The cosmonauts MUST be an EXPERT in certain fields of the space project before they are allowed to even enter the space shuttle. Our Dr. is an expert in which field of the project?
