Astronaut? C'mon, he is just a Space Tourist!

This is just another political show. Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor is just another space tourist that be funded by the government. Nothing so special about the first Malaysian in space.

Few years back, the famous Mark Shuttleworth that founded the Ubuntu Foundation, spent approximately USD 20 million to self-funded his space trip and also as the first African in space. After all, he is well-known with his company, Canonical Ltd., for the promotion and commercial support of free software projects especially Ubuntu distribution, rather than his space trip.

Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor? Yeah, a space kuih promoter... and he will be waiting for his Dato title very soon. Keep your eyes on, see if I'm lying.
