We DO NOT need a space shuttle for the sake of having a souvenir of our first trip into space. Note I use the word “trip” in its literal manner.
We DO NOTÂ need a space shuttle just to have a decorative tribute to our first trip into space.
We DO NOT need to spend the public’s money on a redundancy. Face facts. We will never launch the shuttle. Its just for show. And in 5 years, it’ll be a rusting memory thrown on some junk heap or stolen and melted down for its metal.
We DO NOT need a space shuttle to remind us that our first man in space likened the experience to that of being “Superman”. Neil Armstrong gave us the immortal words “One small step for man, a giant leap for mankind” and what we have for posterity from our “angkasawan” is the comment that he was flying like Superman.
We DO NOT need to help fund the Russian’s space programme by paying them for the used shuttle. Why not channel the money into building our own space programme?!
Spend the money on something else more beneficial to the people of Malaysia.
Feed the poor.
Shelter the needy.
Protect our women and children.
Wake up. Grow up.
Grrrr…….

.. I remember playing in a padang in my childhood, and there were all these rocket-like things to climb and slide around on..
When I read the proposal in the papers, I thought it was the 2nd silliest thing to do. The silliest was to send him up in space in the first place.
What a waste of money. Why can’t they see that we need the money more elsewhere?
UMNO should buy it. The rave all over the first Malay to go to space, this and that (in their current general assembly). They should buy it from their own funds to show that this is the spacecraft which the first Malay flew to space.
Rinnah: Apparently so. I hope its just a sick joke though
Pablo: LOL!
Wierdoux: But they are?
LB: LOL! Yes yes…make a quick buck why don’t we?? We can call it Shoyu.
Cheesey: I wonder who was the bright spark who proposed it and where they found the money for it?! So is that where all our petrol subsidies went to?
Pablo: lol…. The first they flew to space ON, because all he was was a passenger no?
Another proposal to waste national funds. They should channel those funds to all bloggers, hoh?
Giddy Tiger: *holds out hand palm up* yes please. They should channel it our way
we need a rocket to send silly politicians into space… and keep them there… forever…
