[QUOTE="funfer_fahrer, post: 236344, member: 2733"] IMHO, we Malaysians especially the politicians have been doing things without a proper objective. The big question is, where do we want to go from here? Remember that this is supposed to be a one-time-only launch for Malaysia, and all of the sudden the politicians and leaders got so excited that they wanted it to a continous "program". And most of the time, we did it because of pride and also to boost the self-esteem of the Malaysian people. Look at what happened to Proton? Because of "pride", the rakyat will eventually lose. When we include "pride" in whatever we do, be prepared to pay the price. Having said this, please don't get me wrong. I am not against the space program. But, we must have a clear objective. From the politicians point of view, this is very good for their political mileage. And also, Malaysia must send a man to space before 2020. Because Tun Dr. Mahathir also is ageing, well, this is definitely the best time to do this. From the rakyat's point of view, please don't waste our money unnecessarily. If we want to have a space program, then do it properly. If we have to spend, then spend. [/QUOTE]
