Space Exploration

i think the space program is a joke, and Dr Sheikh Muszaphar looks more like an artist/celebrity currently?

KANGAR: Major Dr Faiz Khalid still has high hopes of being the country's second astronaut despite calls for the programme to be reviewed.

He said he was ready for a mission to space and has not stopped training.

"The programme should be continued to put Malaysia up there with other developed countries in space exploration," he said after attending the Science and Technology Week organised by the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry yesterday.

"We have started the programme and it would be a loss if it is terminated."

The country's first astronaut, Datuk Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Sheikh Mus-tapha, had commented that the programme need not be continued as it was costly, while deputy minister Fadhillah Yusof had said the programme slated for 2011 or 2012 needed to be reviewed because of economic factors.

Actually, I don't know why the country (or the government to be precise) would want to send him to space. He was only a space tourist who went up there to show us that he could toss roti canai and do teh tarik in space and live up the infamous "Malaysia Boleh!" slogan, rather than participating the research that the other space mates were there for. He looked stupid back there! Sending the first Malaysian astronaut to space had cost Malaysia a dope, a BIG one! The poor, poor tax payers of Malaysia......

Astronaut Farmer - Widescreen Fullscreen Dubbed

$9.99

An aspiring astronaut who was forced to forsake his dream of exploring space in order to save the family farm begins building his own personal rocket as a means of reaching the stars in this quirky rural drama starring Billy Bob Thornton. There once was a time when Charlie Farmer (Thornton) seemed like a shoo-in for NASA's esteemed astronaut training program. An Air Force pilot who held a degree in aerospace engineering, Charlie was well on his way to blasting off when a family crisis grounded his celestial aspirations. Of course, Charlie's feet may be firmly planted on terra firma these days, but his thoughts are constantly ascending into the clouds and beyond. It's been ten long years since the man who would navigate the stars began tending to the family farm, and during that time, Charlie has dedicated every moment of his spare time to building the rocket that will one day launch him into space. Though his devoted wife, Audie (Virginia Madsen), the pair's three children, Sunshine, Stanley, and Shepard, and even his father-in-law, Hal (Bruce Dern), all support Charlie in achieving his lifelong goal of becoming the nation's first independent astronaut, a last-minute hitch on the eve before the big launch unexpectedly stalls Charlie's countdown. It seems that Charlie's quest to obtain a substantial amount of high-grade rocket fuel has attracted the attention of not only the FBI, but the CIA, the FAA, and the United States military as well. Now, as the powers that be attempt to ground Charlie, citing concerns for civilian safety, a media frenzy descends upon the once-quiet farm as the reluctant renegade hero vows to show his children just how far one's courage and willingness to pursue one's own ideals can get a person when one refuses to give up hope. Northfork writing/directing duo Mark and Michael Polish team up to tell the tale of a man considered an oddity by his neighbors, a criminal by the government, and an inspiration by the media and the people. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
