Kab00m!
Yes, don't miss it! the event will be very well televised on Malaysian TV. The first Malaysian to ever venture into space! w00t! Our fellow Malaysian will be a (spaceflight) participant in this ride along with 5 other astronauts.
Finally Malaysia is able to prove itself once again by putting one of its citizen on a mission to ISS. I'm proud to be Malaysian! Hopefully this will lift up the spirit of other Malaysian that a trip to space is possible as long as you have USD20 million to spare.
Our fellow Malaysian (funded by taxpayers money) will soon join the ranks of other billionaire spaceflight participant listed below
- Dennis Tito (American): April 28 - May 6, 2001
- Mark Shuttleworth (South African / British): April 25 - May 5, 2002
- Gregory Olsen (American): October 1 - October 11, 2005
- Anousheh Ansari (Iranian / American): September 18 - September 29, 2006
- Charles Simonyi (Hungarian / American): April 7 - April 21, 2007[10]
