The first Malaysian spaceman is getting ready to launch from some where in the former Soviet Union. While i think it is extremely cool that they have a space program in Malaysia, I have to ask if its worth it. I mean, really. Malaysia? Space program?? Also on board the Soyuz rocketship is an american woman (set to become the first woman in control of the ISS) and a russian cosmonaut. Not sure if its a good idea to have a woman in charge of the space station, I imagine the next time they send people up there will be doilies and pot pouri every where…
