The country’s space programme looks to be as good as grounded. There is no money for the programme....maybe we can blast off again if we buy some more Sukhoi fighters.
This is one project which shouldn't have blasted off. Anyway, what good has it done for us? None of us is better off, except for Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Sheikh Shukor who got his moment of fame. Anyway, back sometime ago, many questioned the way the selection was concluded. Cos we could have sent one up into space cheaper...just sign up at one of those mushrooming space tourism companies. Virgin Galactic has a package that cost USD200K...much cheaper than Dr Sheikh Muszaphar's ride up. After all the hoo-hah, what have we to show? All the big talk ....and the space programme now is dead...
