So you want to be an astronaut???

Just finished watching the live telecast of the launching of the Soyuz spacecraft with our very first malaysian in space on board...

What do i have to say??? no comments...just wondering how the that money we as the taxpayers pay could be better spent elsewhere...

then again...

anyhow...the guy hosting the live telecast just now said next yr there is going to be another competition for the next malaysian astronaut (our money gone again!!!) ... the criteria are as follows : above 21 yrs old of age, your waist must not exceed 40cm and your thighs put together must not exceed 40 cm...WHY???

bcos if u exceed 40cm...then you wont be able to fit into the soyuz spacecraft...HAR DE HAR HAR ... i think that was hilarious lor....

but i think i meet all the criteria *ahem* So can i be the next astronaut???my mission will be to BLOG IN OUTER SPACE...! now thats something isnt it??? better than making teh tarik in space...

and i thought the making teh tarik thingy was just something that malaysians conjured up to make fun of the malaysian space programme...but i found this while looking for photos just now :

Malaysia's first astronaut to do what no one in space has done before
KUALA LUMPUR:
Malaysia's first astronaut will do what no one in space has done before: play traditional Malay children's games without gravity.
The astronaut - yet to be selected - will play "batu seremban,'' or "five stones'' and spin traditional Malay tops in space, Agriculture Ministry parliamentary secretary Rohani Abdul Karim told parliament on Wednesday.
Rohani, who was replying on behalf of the Science, Technology and Innovations Ministry, said the astronaut would also do batik painting and making teh tarik.
....

playing malay children's game without gravity and making teh tarik!!! now thats quite a plan...!!!
this was an excerpt from thestar.com.my...you may read it for yourself here

In all of space travel history, the 'mission' has always been taken very seriously for obvious reasons. The years of development, the human sacrifice and the cost's.

Every astronaut has gone up there to the heaven's with a mission. Performing experiments, Engineering chores, Data accumulation and so forth, all with the aim of making the costly mission worthwhile.

Now we see this angkasawan going up there to play traditional games and makan. Is the point of his going just a 'Malaysia Boleh' gimmick? or another 'victory' from the powers that be of Boleh-Land?

this space thing is so lame and piss me off. the cute guys has nth to do wif it, but its the ppl who make this decision for spending large amount money which can b use for the welfare of ppl in this country.

Sex in outer space. Hmmmmm... Now that will require some bits of Velcro and a good tie down for one of the 'participants' aye?

But won't that be called Bondage on earth? Kinky!
