		<description>Ã¢â‚¬Å“He was awestruck by his wonderful experience in space that he would like to go up again and stay in space for six months.Ã¢â‚¬Â said Datuk Najib. If you put a monkey into space it will come back jumping with excitement too. Why not build some library for our kids or a better education systems.At least we have a better fighting chance.</description>

		<description>Big Screen at Dataran Medeka malfunction during the space launch due to fuse blow out and the people had to view the launch using TV3 camera crew 14 inch TV. That should tell Malaysian something about our gov. technical abilities. Got rumors want to start looking at alternative power source nuclear power plant, GOD SAVE US.
Still want to brag about the space monkey.  First Proton eat the rakyatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s money now we have to pay to send space monkeys up into orbit for a joy ride.  I heard a second one is planned to go up too.  Gov. claims no money to subsides petrol, need more toll, cannot help the poor non-malay but got money for to send the space monkeys and too bail out Proton and MARA.
Waste of money just so UMNO can give the Malays some delusions of achievement just in time for the elections.
Before anyone says IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m a racists, even if it was a non-malay space monkey that went up, I would still be say it is waste of money, since nothing was achieved and gained for Malaysians except the delusion of achieving something which was nothing in reality.
Time to vote this gov. out. Better start donating my tax ringgit to the people that need it than letting the gov. waste it on BS endeavors.
We should start investing more in Green Tech before the oil runs out,  this shows our Gov. is just interested in wining the election and keeping their minster post so they suck more blood out of the rakyat.</description>

		<description>Nothing for All Malaysians to be PROUD of!! Where are our own
SPACE INFRASTRUCTURES?? We now just borrow Others&#039; rocket,
spaceship and ISS for Space Tour and Dr. Sheik is just a Space
Capsule passanger!! Nothing GREAT... Just buy a Space Tour ticket
and any Tom Dick and Harry can just travel !!

We only be PROUD of Ourselves when we go up into SPACE using
all the resources that can be called our very own. During that time
Malaysians are TRULY BOLEH!! Now Malaysians saja TAK BOLEH LAGI!!! Wake Up, Don&#039;t daydream too much!!! We cannot even design and build a simple light aircraft of our own yet and we talk about going to SPACE Technologies &amp; Engineering!!! It is ABSURD!
May be balek kampung and enjoy Hari Raya is of much better idea now!!

Where are All the TOP Brains of Malaysia??? They are all working
Overseas becoz the Malaysian Government treats them 2nd and
3rd Class citizens!!! Who wants to serve the country if you are being ill-treated??</description>

		<description>Given another 50 years, I don&#039;t think Malaysia can go to space by its own simply because best brains will not stay in Malaysia. I wonder paying million $ to space what is that to be proud of, is basically taking tax payers money for space tour.  The money could put to better use for the benefits of million of Malaysians instead.</description>

		<description>Syabas to our &#039;PESERTA ANGKASA&#039; Dr Sheikh Muszaphar. It will be great you can share your experience and try to inspire the young ones of what &#039;SPACE TRIP&#039; feels like.
Hopefully, you will play a pivotal role in turning our space program to mold out in the distant future a true &#039;ANGKASAWAN&#039;
For those who still wish to think that we have sent an &#039;ANGKASAWAN&#039; to space, stop kidding yourself and don&#039;t be a laughing stock. LOL</description>

		<description>You know what the Chinese mean when they say &quot;Borrowing the buttocks of others to use as one&#039;s face&quot;? This is exactly the situation here. What is there to be proud of anyway? We do not have the facilities to send astronauts into outer space, and furthermore we have to use a Russian rocket together with two Russian &quot;escorts&quot; to send our astronaut out there! 

Furthermore, at a time when the Malaysian economy looked so bleak, how can the government afford the billions of ringgit to send astronauts into outer space? What is the government trying to prove? That &quot;Malaysia Boleh&quot;? And what good is one trip into outer space, are we going to send more astronauts into outer space for the sake of leisure and at the expense of the rakyat? 

Think what the billions can do for the economy of Malaysia at this time! It is so unbecoming of our government. 

If at all Malaysia wants to prove that it CAN, then we should perhaps do more research and make our own rockets to travel into outer space without the aid of foreign nations. By then we can proudly stand up and say &quot;MALAYSIA BENAR-BENAR BOLEH!!!!&quot;</description>

		<description>I guess the only thing we can be proud of this space tourist Angkasawan thing is that, &quot;We can spend the money...&quot; ... anything else that we&#039;re contributing to the scientific community and doing real science is just typical Malaysia Boleh delusions.

When and if a government sponsored personality wins the Nobel Prize, then we will really stand 2&quot; taller. I have to make the distinction - privately funded Ah Chong and Mutu who had no choice but to get out of the country to study and work in order to get ahead don&#039;t count.</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt; Is there even a Buatan Malaysia projectile like a bullet? ... let alone a missile which is the base technology for a man-carrying rocket into space? In fact, I don&#039;t even believe we&#039;ve the facilities to track the ISS in Malaysia. So ... what &#039;Space Programme&#039;?!?!. 

To add insult to injury, there&#039;s now an annoucemnet that there will be a second space-participant (aka PELANCUNG ANGKASA) in 2 years time ... for the backup dude.

Even for our Malay neighbours, there are many who are finding it hard to make ends meet, and we want to spend another RM100 mil to send another tourist up to space to see how Muslims can pray 5 times while orbiting the earth 16 times a day.

Hell ... RM100 million - can you imagine how much can you do on Earth with RM100 million? ... and it is your tax money too!

Besides, being the religious zealots that we strive to be, aren&#039;t we afraid that people will realise how incompatible space is to Muslim praying rituals? Yes, it does seem that Islam is not portable to space basing on what the clerics conclusions are to the problem of facing Mecca while orbiting the Earth 16 times a day - &quot;Try your best&quot; ... ie. &quot;We stumped about this problem!&quot;. If orbiting close to earth is already a problem - what about the moon ... and God forbid - Mars and beyond. 

Hold on ... do we get a feeling that this points to a *flaw* in the teachings?! OMG! The infallible is not infallible after all!

But oh yeah ... by definition ... you&#039;ve no choice but to follow these teachings because you&#039;re born into a certain tribe. Tough luck for real science!

		<description>I heard that there&#039;s a second TOURIST to be launched in the next 2 years. I URGE LKS to oppose the next trip AT ONCE.

http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/73567

I am expecting the opposition to do something. We cannot let our government simply waste our money again, and for what, kolo mee this time? 

Should we start a petition?</description>

		<description>This &#039;tumpang&#039; mentality is something that UMNO is very good at.  See how they get the Malays to &#039;tumpang&#039; on them virtually for everything so that they can remain in power. The Malays need to tumpang for priority rights to education, scholarships, jobs, government contracts, housing, land, promotions, etc.  With due respect to my Malay brethrens, where is this leading you all to???  It is time you need to &#039;tumpang&#039; on yourself so at the end of the day, you can be proud of what you have done, whether achieved or otherwise, but at least you tried and on your own merits.</description>

		<description>Ah Pek,

Don&#039;t you know a tongue-in-cheek response when you see one? :-)

But, agreed.  Hotels, golfcourses, etc, are other peoples expertise.  Our UMNO angkasaputras just pay other people to set it up for them, and then put a Made-in-Malaysia sticker on it.</description>

		<description>&quot;But we Malaysians are completely practical! We let foreigners do the brain work. We simply set up hotels,golf courses ....&quot;.Bigfoot.
Hold your horses Bigfoot.Setting up hotels and golf courses is Richard Branson&#039;s expertise.We only know how to sent UMNOPUTRA space tourists up there to relax up there on your account,my dear fellow!!! You see their job in running this country requires a lot of brain work so it is absolutely necessary to recharge themselves from time to time so that when they come back they will even have better ideas how to run this country.</description>

		<description>The 2nd Malaysian spaceflight participant is going to be a dentist. He will have to bring along his dental clinic including the dental chair plus his dental nurse to the ISS, so that the crew can have their dental problems attended to pronto</description>

		<description>I&#039;VE SEEN THE LIGHT!

I finally see the brilliance of our illustrious leaders in this space program.  Space Tourism.  Cuti-cuti angkasa!  Yes, it&#039;s part of our nations super-secret &quot;Malaysia Truly Spacier&quot; space-tourism marketing campaign! Think about it.  Every other nation is serious about space research to help mankind, to see if other alien civilizations exist out there, etc.  But we Malaysians, are completely practical!  We let the foreigners do the brain work.  We simply set up hotels, golf courses, teh tarik stalls and roti canai outlets for weary foreign astronauts.  Why, we can even engage in a &quot;Rasa Sayang&quot; singalong in space, ...and won&#039;t have the Indons clamouring about it.  In a few years, we can even have a budget, no frills &quot;Space Asia&quot; space liner, complete with 30% angkasaputra equity stake.

We might as well do it.  Afterall, we are losing our competitive edge in just about every other sphere internationally.</description>
