Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar is the FIRST Malaysian Angkasawan

Bulletin Utama TV 3 just announced orthopedic surgeon Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor as the FIRST Malaysian astronaut. It was announced by the International Space Station at Fox News although the Malaysian Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi have yet to do it officially till this coming Thursday.

Captain Dr. Faiz Khalid (pictured here on the right), an army dentist, has been selected as the back up astronaut during this landmark mission for Malaysia. The launch is planned three days before Hari Raya Aidil Fitri (10 October 2007). We should be expecting Takbir Raya from Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar at a 200 km elevation.

They have a specific blog and they interact with the visitors to the blog.

Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar, 34 (pictured here on the left) is an alumnus from my former old school in Muo, Johor. Dato’ Mukhriz Mahathir and his ANSARA Exco will be pleased to learn that the first Malaysian astronaut is an ex-MRSM bloke! So will the people at Bahagian Pelajaran MARA and his peers from medical school.

Congratulations, Ansarawan.

    congrats, dr sheikh muzafar.
    first malaysian astronaut. probably the most good-looking ever sent to space.

  2. On September 18, 2007 at 11:37 pm kerp Said:

    ya la, based on his popularity, somehow most of us knew all along it was going to be the better-looking doc.

    i had lunch at his co-owned restaurant a couple of months ago and I would hv had a good chat with him if not for the screaming girls waiting in line to hv their photos taken.

    i end up chatting with that chef ismail dude.

    His fiance can say goodbye to him. After his space stint, his sexlife is gonna skyrocket as fast as his space shuttle did!

    For whatever it is, congratulations!

    Commiserations however to Dr Faiz. I’m sure he would have served our purpose better as more emphasise will be targeted on his experience rather than his appearance. We have celebrities in abundance, what we need are scientists to propel our unit in the Science Ministry without distractions.

  5. On September 19, 2007 at 12:20 pm rockybru Said:

    he must be, er, on the moon! first malaysian in space! poster boy looks and now he’ll have stories to tell the girls about the mo0n and starts other guys won’t be able to do. instant celebrity. i hope he comes back and keep his hair a little long to fit into the new role of real model (hey, my kids think guys with long hair are cool).

    congrats dr sheikh muzafar! and dr faiz khalid, who has nothing to be ashamed of for being no 2.

    There is nothing wrong being No. 2 aka “back up” crew for a space flight mission.

    Infact, history already proven the significant role of the “back up” crew of a space fight mission. Appollo XIII was originally manned by Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Ken Mattingly (pilot). Few days before flight, the mission flight surgeons were convinced that Mattingly had contracted measles and was ‘bumped’ of the mission, in favour of Jack Swiggert, the ‘back up crew’ pilot.

    Apparently Appollo XIII mission was disrupted when an explosion happened to the command module “Odyssey” and they never made it to the moon. Being an experienced Saturn V pilot, Mattingly played an instrumental role in the rescue mission plan to bring back the astronauts alive; when he deviced a full pre-entry procedure despite the crippled state of the “Odyssey” and serious lack of electrical power.

    Mattingly never had the measles. Imagine what would have been if Mattingly was in the mission instead of Swiggert. Would Swiggert managed to do what Mattingly did?

    Hey Rocky,

    You’d be amazed at how guys can sweet-talk the girls of today. They’re not looking to hear about the stars and the moon like in the sixties and seventies man! They want to see stars, and I’m telling you bro, the men are giving it to them bright and shiny! Yee-hah!

  7. On September 19, 2007 at 1:15 pm metamum Said:

    Always knew the good-looking one wd be it. I remember once reading about a survey in a management mag which concludes that all things being equal, the better looking candidate gets the job.
    Whatever, congrats to our Astronaut.

    Congratulations to the Dr Muzaffar for being elected as the first malaysian going to the space. the record is going to be good. that’s it.

    wonder why a medical doctor is being sent to the space? and what benefit he can brings back to us in Malaysia? I mean, there must be somesort of contribution he can make, is it? maybe our ’space intelligence agency’ or whatever ministry related can utilized him going there. not maybe. SHOULD BE.

    and aahh..not being cynical or what. the journey to space now affordable. provided you got some millions of dollars, you can contact the Russians or the Americans. and now we even got space tourist!!!

    Everyone of us Malaysians has been taken for a ride.

    Check-out what NASA says about our ‘astronaut’ Dr Muszaphar at this link:

    http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/expeditions/expedition16/index.html

    Additionally, read the article on ‘Space Participant’ at Wikipedia, the online free encyclopedia at the following link:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaceflight_participant

    Anyway, here is an excerpt of the article at Wikipedia ” …. NASA Public Affairs has used the term Spaceflight Participant to designate space tourists. Tito, Shuttleworth, Olsen, Ansari, and Simonyi were designated as such during their respective space flights.[6] lists Christa McAuliffe as a “Space Flight Participant” (although she did not pay a fee), apparently due to her non-technical duties aboard the STS-51-L flight…..”

    So, our “Angkasawan Malaysia” is only a space-tourist according to NASA. Nothing more than that.

    Semua kita sudah ditipu … oleh siapa ye?

    If I am not mistaken, there was either a Saudi or Eqyptian astronaut who has been to space. So Dr Sheikh is not the first Muslim in space.

    what is the different between astronaut and spaceflight participant?

    No difference. Some crew flew the space craft, others do experiments and research. All have their roles. Technical crew man the aircraft equipments and researchers do their experiments. If there is no researchers, then there is no reason to have the flight into space in the first place.

Tau apa maksudnya?, maksudnya dia hanya sebagai pelancung/space tourist, dia tak layak digelar astronaut atau cosmonaut sbb dia hanya seorg tourist. Kalau nak jadi astronaut bukan senang, bertahun2 kene jalani training. Ini dlm masa sekejap je boleh jadi astronaut hehe lawak. Media2 malaysia ni memang suka menunjuk.

    Sesapa yg kaya raya boleh pegi guna duit sendiri dgn bayaran USD30 million sbb Rusia Space Agency dah open utk individu melancung ke angkasa. Bezanya Dr Sheikh Muzaffar ni funded by government. Dah ramai dah individu pegi guna duit sendiri. So baca pendapat koorg yg bangga tak tentu pasal ni lawak jugak, nampak sgt tak tau apa2 :P

    Ni bukti nya http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_tourism

    Totally disagree with this comment.

    Dr. Sheikh is trained as a Cosmonaut, just like other Russian Cosmonauts to space and he has been certified by the Russian Space Agency as a Cosmonaut.

    He will be conducting a series of medical and bio-tech tests and research, on behalf of various Malaysian scientists in space. That include a genetics experiment that will be carried out by eminent Malaysian geneticists, Oxford trained Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mohamed Saifulaman Mohd. Said of Bio-technology Institute, UiTM Shah Alam.

    He is in space for a specific mission and will bring down the results for the betterment of mankind through science.

    Get your facts right!

    to Sibir Ahmad, aiyaa..

    space tourism =/= angkasawan.
    astro-cosmonaut is.
    ((doesnt matter if you just seat and bring canai to space=i still consider the person as astronaut))

    never act wise on net by quoting from the likes of Wiki

    Congratulations Dr. Sheikh Muszaffar,
    U are up there with a mission..
    For those who do not understand.. or pretend not to understand…or juz plain jealous .. pls remember… our cosmonaut is no ordinary guy.. he has gone through hardcore tests and training.. to be able to reach there.. and with great physical abilities and good brains to match, not to mention extremely good looks… I can only say… bravo… we Malaysians are v proud of u!!

    Ahmad Sibir,

    you really know nothing about space,not to say about this mission. Please go back and read some books. Dr Muzaphar went to space doing research, NOT just as tourist. What do you think Yuri Gagarin did when he first arrive to space?

    You were just being cynic, and it’s NOT nice, and I fuckin’ hate it.

    Saya memang dah tau pasal ni semenjak Malaysia heboh pasal angkasawan negara. Url tu sbg bukti je.

    Kalau Dr. Sheikh tu pergi sana untuk buat scientific research, ok lah memang bagus, amat dialu-alukan. Tapi kalau pergi semata2 melancong macam individu2 yg lain tu, rasa macam membazir duit rakyat je.

    Of course they need training, even though as a tourist..

    Dari segi research tu, Dr Sheikh ni membawa 3 research yg sedia ada untuk di cuba di angkasa. Dgn kata lain dia sbg TESTER (conduct research) bukan perform a research, ok. Kalau nak betul2 buat research kene amik masa yg agak lama di ISS, paling kurang pon 3 bulan macam Astronaut Rusia yg lain2 tu.

    So bagus lah, Dr Sheikh memegang amanah negara jugak walaupon sbg tourist. Tahniah jugak dari saya kerana menjadi org Malaysia yg pertama dpt pengalaman di angkasa dan melaksanakan tanggujawab kpd negara. Syabas!!

    You or anyone else can do the same thing if you can afford it.
    Like always, wehavebeen dupedby ourselves.
    Have a nice dream.

    I vehemently disagree with this. Angkasawan Negara Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Al Masrie, who is doctor, will be conducting a few experiments and research in the weightlessness of outer space, on behalf of a few Malaysian and foreign scientists, which include the eminent Malaysian Oxford trained geneticist, Prof. Dr. Mohamed Saifulaman Mohamed Said.

    It is cheaper to import engineers, and I may get some kickback either way.
    I also decide what is best for my country, depending on the amount deposited in my bank account.
    My Malaysian brothers and MOTHERLAND is only second to my self-interest.
    Go for it Dr. Sheikh. I AM PROUD OF YOU AND MALAYSIA. HECK YOU LOOK GREAT ON TV.

    aghhh…..juz cant visualise how Dr SMS’s life would be when he return to ground safely….he probably cant even walk out from his house !!! His security is at stake…his fans !!! may take every piece of him…hmmmm, Dr Faiz apa kurang nya? He too such a warm guy and seems more approacheable and equally intelligent I believe. But after semua semua ini…tolong lah kerajaan jangan bakarkan duit macam ini…we need the fund for many other things in Malaysia untul Rakyat biasa. Everything is so expensive..petrol included !!!

    Why bother sending 300 students studying engineering in Russia when Malaysian education was being recognized by the world?

    We just dont have technologies, that’s why we need outer help. It’s costly, but for future prospect - we learn something.

    I’m really sick of you Typical Malays. I’m malay too - but not as typical as you.

    Anak Malayu/Amelia Aliass

    There are two things here “Anak Melayu”/Amelia Alias..
    firstly…typical attitude .. tak bole tengok bangsa maju mesti nak kutuk.. tak senang tengok orang berjaya, mesti post mortem cari salah orang..
    2ndly…. tak percaya kemampuan anak bangsa sendiri and diri sendiri!!

    Change man… not all yang berjaya tu mesti ada political connection blah blah blah and percaya la kemampuan bangsa sendiri…we are a smart race believe it, only dulu2 saja…now semua dah berubah… how come some masih tak nak berubah??

    Think!!

    suda la utk org2 yg berminda class bawah tu.. diam je la, dulu projek Proton mula nak dilancar pun macam2 komen yg nak menggagalkan projek murni pemimpin negara.. mesti mau cari kelemahan. Bila dah berjaya pun masih juga nak cari cacat celanya.. jd x heran la klu kita tgh nak cari jalan keluar dengan menghantar rakyat Malaysia (Dr.Sy.Muzaffar) ke angkasa pun puak2 ni masih melihat yg Malaysia tidak patut menghantar angkasawan.. mereka ni masih mahu menjadi orang yg menunggu dan berbangga dengan negara lain yg berjaya dan hanya tahu bertepuk tangan. Mereka ni sentiasa melihat org Malaysia x payah berganjak utk maju. tp apa yg aku nampak org2 ni lebih kepada “SIKAP DENGKI” kerana yg dihantar tu bukan mereka sendiri.

    assalamualaikum w.b.t,

    contrag’ dr sheikh atas kejayaan warga malaysia pertama

    ke angkasa. angkasa satu perkataan yang sheikh dengar

    sejak kecil lagi. Mesti ingat time kecil-kecil dulu

    bila terdengar cikgu mengajar subjek sains…opss dr

    sheikh tak ada belajar sains time sek rendah..tapi ime

    form 1 until 3 adakan. best dengar tentang angkasa

    kan.. siapa sangka macam mmpi saja bila ternampak ruang

    angkasa sendiri dengan kedua-dua bji mata. Merasai ruan

    angkasa yang betul-betul tiada graviti. Semoga

    dilimpahi dengan apa jua keinginan hidup, dipanjangkan

    umur agar pengalaman di angkasa dapat dikongsi bersama,

    dimurahkan rezeki agar mudah beramal sedekah dan

    dikurniakan isteri yang solehah buat menemani hidup

    dunia dan akhirat. Anak-anak yang bakal mengikut jejak

    ayah nya…tapi jangn lupa dan kufur dengan Allah Yang

    Maha Esa… kehidupan dr.sheikh mungkin akan berubah

    berbanding sebelum dkenali dulu-dulu lagi…jangan

    tinggal solat ye…jangan lupa allah…ingat mati

    adalah manusia yang paling bijak…bukan manusia yang

    bijak membuat kapal angkasa… Ingatlah allah sayang

    sangat dengan dr.sheikh sebab itu allah pilih dr.sheikh

    lihat sendiri ciptaanNya yang Maha Kaya…tak mustahil

    kalau Allah boleh pilih sesiapa sahaja…mungkin ah

    chong, mutu, ahmad, mary, minah, dan banyak lagi…tapi

    allah pilih manusia yang palin dia sayang, yang

    sentiasa ingat akan dia, yang selalu sujud dia iaitu Dr

    Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Al Masrie bin Sheikh Mustapha.

    Siapa tahu dan sangka wktu kecil dulu Dr.Sheikh orang

    biasa tapi bila balik nanti ke bumi di beri

    penghormatan yang paling tinggi iaitu Datuk Dr Sheikh

    Muszaphar Shukor Al Masrie bin Sheikh Mustapha. Itu

    Baru gelaran di dunia belum lagi anugerah yang allah

    akan bagi jika sentiasa ingat akan Nya… wassalam

    saya berbangga dan bersyukur kerana kalian berdua berjaya dalam misi ke angkasa sebagai wakil atau duta Malaysia ke sana…tahiah kepada DR. SHEIKH yang selamat berlepas ke angkasa,rasa mcm tak percaya jgk Malaysia dah sampai ke angkasa,namun semanagt berkobar-kobar MALAYSIA BOLEH! menjadi sumber kekuatan kepada kita untuk lebih yakin & percaya bahawanya MALAYSIA BOLEH!
    Sesungguhnya apa yang kita doakan agar perjuangan Dr sheikh Muzaffar InshaALLAH tak akan berakhir dalam tempoh 10 hari shj semasa di angkasa di pusat ISS…akan tetapi ini akan terus menjadi titik tolak model perjuangan kepada semua generasi muda masyrakat Malaysia pada masa sekarang dan akan datang dapat mencontohi Angkasawan Pertama Negara untuk turut serta menjayakan misi ke angkasa demi Perjuangan sebagai MUSLIM Kerana ALLAH untuk Agama ISLAM,negara Malaysia pada masa2 akan datang…
    “Segala puji bagi Allah Tuhan sekalian alam” (ayat 2 Surah AL-Fatihah)
    Sesungguhnya dari perspektif ISLAMIC SCIENCES perjuangan ke angkasa lepas mendekatkan diri kita kepada ALLAH SWT agar menjadi hamba yang sentiasa berfikir ttg kebesaran disebalik kejadian hebat Ciptaan ALLAH YANG MAHA BERKUASA dan setiasa bersyukur akan anugerah nikmat yang dianugerhakn kepada kita selama hayat kita di bumi milikNYA ini…selain itu program keangkasalepas menyuburkan ingatan kita kepada sirah Nabi Muhammad SAW yang tercinta dalam ISRAK DAN MIKRAJ baginda….wallahualam.
