Message: <blockquote data-quote="ALBundy" data-source="post: 236040" data-attributes="member: 15">Yes, we definitely have to start somewhere to get things moving. In my honest opinion, PROTON was a great idea by TDM, its just that the implementation was screwed along the way. Likewise, Malaysia should start some sort of space programme. But is sending anangkasawan the best way to do this? Come to think about it, this is how our government usually get things done, most of the time its without proper rock solid foundation that will ensure success in the future. Its always about hype but little substance. This is all part of TDM's plan to boost the self esteem and confidence of Malaysians to face the world, of course so much so that now we have the biggest dodol, biggest yee-sang, biggest roti canai that only Malaysian's Guiness Book of Records can accept!! AS for the Indians and Chinese, yes plenty of money is spent on their space programs, but they have REAL space programmes, and the chinese sent their Taiko-naut using their own rocket and space shuttle (derived from Russian Technology of course!) couple of years back. They didnt waste money on space flight participants and later started the space program!! Malaysia should build its own space program before sending someone to outer space where little if anything can be achieved. Experimenting with how cancer cells grow in zero-gravity is something that has been done before. Thank god, they ditched the original idea of making teh tarik in the ISS!!   I also disagree with Funfer Fahrer that Dr. Sheikh is an astronaut by any standards. Put it this way, if one day in the future I drive a F1 car on Sepang for a few laps, does that make me a F1 driver???!!</blockquote>
