Felt better and more relieved after reading this piece of news update in the Star today:
No space for teh tarik
MOSCOW: There will be no teh tarik-making or roti canai-tossing experiments in space for our Angkasawan when he blasts off in October.
Instead, he will carry out at least 10 laboratory tests for serious research designed by 10 universities, institutes of higher education and government science agencies.
Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jamaluddin Jarjis said the experiments were important as “they will have an important impact on our local food and medical industries”. ...more
I really hope that the multi-billion ringgit spent in this space project will bring progress and advantage to the nation. Frankly, I don't mind who the astronauts are, as long as they are chosen wisely and carefully under the stringent criteria. Well, hopefully it's another round of Malaysia Boleh! :)
