It's when the first Malaysian angkasawan will be going to space. Couldn't wait!
Previously I mentioned that Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor will be the first Malaysian angkasawan to go to space but I read in the net that changes can be made last minute.
The 2 Malaysian angkasawan are Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, 35, a lecturer in HUKM and Captain Dr Faiz Khaleed, 27, an army officer and a dentist. If everything goes as planned and no changes being made, Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor will be boarding the Soyuz 15-S with Russian fellow, Yuri Malenchenko and American Peggy Whitson while Captain Dr Faiz Khaleed will go with the second team along with Russian Shari-Zan Sharipov and American Michael Fincke. Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor will be the first Muslim to perform solat onboard the International Space Station (ISS). As a Muslim fellow, I'm kinda proud of him....Good Luck guys! Can't wait for the launch....
