[QUOTE="blackrobe, post: 236401, member: 556"] lets call a spade a spade... its just another typical Malaysian stunt without any substance. Its no different from that stunt on flying our Proton car to the North pole..total waste of money and what does it prove? Astronauts are trained vigorously both mentally and physically. It normally takes 1-year training program then they are eligible for a flight assignment about 1 year after completing the basic training program. The novice astronauts are given a full range of basic science and technical courses, including mathematics, Earth resources, meteorology, guidance and navigation, astronomy, physics and computer sciences. Candidates also receive training in land and sea survival training, scuba diving, and space suits. Astronauts have to train for every possible emergency. They also need to become familiar with the spacecraft and instruments that they will be using and the tasks that they expect to perform before they go into space.Rookie astronauts may spend as long as 18 months training for a mission. Astronauts who already have traveled in space may need only 6 months of training before they are ready to fly again. Finally as quoted by the Canadian Space Agency for the purposes of the ISS, the [B]Spaceflight participants[/B] are individuals (e.g.: astronauts from non-partner space agencies, engineers, scientists, journalists, teachers, filmmakers, tourists, etc.) who are sponsored to travel to the ISS by one or more ISS partners. [B]They are not professional astronauts[/B] with any of the ISS partner agencies. I sincerely think our 'angkasawan' did not train for the 2 years.. quite the participant then isn't he? Whether the deal was a pay off or set off isn't the point...our monies went into it directly or indirectly, and for no purpose we can be proud of..except to say our Malaysian Brother got into space....so what...they sent a chimpanzee into space in 1961!
