Shotgun SG This is not a joke, so please stop laughing already. They are really serious about going to space. They are also serious about making their astronauts wear batik, eat roti canai. But apparently, they are still trying to figure out the direction to pray. Okay, the serious part is over.
ceecookie SG eh, so they going to make their spacecraft ah? i thought whatever malaysian is crappy?their spacecraft sure blow up before reaching space like the USA spacecraft disaster
SMAPLionHeart SG What's the point of borrowing spacecraft from other pple just to send your people into space? They don't even possess the technology. Think it will do more harm to their image then good. The first chinese made it into space long ago liao. at least they built it based on russian design on their homeground. No different from someone who is the son of a prime minister who pays money so that his son can study in a prestigious foreign university.
c0ol_blu3z SG they wanna haolian ar? being first SEAsian to reach space? where they pray ar? upside down?
ditzy SG I heard from my m'sian friends they intend to be the first to introduce freeze dried malaysian cuisine. Like when an italian astronaut brought up freeze dried bolognaise.
Obersturmfuhrer SG Siao gee na. Got money dun spend on economy or combat forest fire go and waste on stuff just to show off.
SMAPLionHeart SG This time , the prime minister im hinting isn't from singapore . Hint : It has somethng to do with Protons.
Gedanken SG Sad to say, the Malaysians are about 44 years too late: I don't suppose it would go down too well with them that the chimp's name was Ham.
SMAPLionHeart SG Bill Gates got money but he still didn't go to space. Malaysia is the only country on earth which goes to space on completely 100% borrowed technology. I think Malaysia would be in better hands under other parties other then BN.
LazerLordz SG Saudi Arabia is the first. LTC Sultan Salman Abdel-aziz Al-Saud. Payload Specialist, STS-51G Discovery. 1985.
BadzMaro SG Malaysia Boleh. Boleh do everything...but never mentioned how they gonna do it.. but BOLEH do it. Thats the mentality we got..so if it means using others to advance ourselves ..so be it. coz we BOLEH.. ha ha ! Maybe doing research of space parts for Proton.. or introducing oil palm Bio-Oil for the NASA space craft..
Meia Gisborn SG Note that Malaysia only mentioned sending an astronaut into space; they said nothing about getting him back to Earth safely. MG
Obersturmfuhrer SG Boleh boleh can't even survive without special government concessions...... Maybe NASA just needs garbagemen to help keep shuttles clean.
Fatum SG probably going to hitch a ride with the russians, as much as they like to do all this kind of "show show" stuff, (like the petronas tower, and "potong" cars for instance), building their own rocket would be way way beyond them, even if the russians sell them a complete set of blueprints for everything .... but let's congratulate them ..... every single taxpayer ringgit they spend on such things will mean a ringgit less on something else that'll really compete with us ..... thank god our goverment has got both feet firmly on the ground ... and doesn't succumb to such meaningless showmanship, let's hope they spend more on such balls scratching exercises ! ....
gary1910 SG I believe it was part of the deal during the sales of Mig-29s where the goondu Dr M asked the Russian for a Malaysian to be trained and send to space. Of course they dun have the technology and knowhow for space technology, afterall they dun even have a indigenous rifle , let alone space rocket!!!! One thing , Malaysians are very easy brainwashed by their govt so to make themselves feel good and shout "Malaysia boleh"!!!! If you see some naive postings by some Malaysians in other forums, believeing that MAF after some of their recent weapons acquistion, thinking that MAF is the most sophisticated armed forces in SEA!!! But when they are shown the orbat of SG, Thailand , Indonesia and Vietnam etc, they realised that MAF is actually quite pathetic small as compare with those nations since 80s and will continue to be so even after 2010!!!!
