Astronaut Malaysia ; Dato' Dr. Sheikh Muzaphar


Thanks to Mrs. Anita for inviting our 1st Astronaut to UiTM Dungun. He does look charming ain't he? He's a married man with a 4months old in the womb baby. His wife is also a doctor but I'm not sure a specialist or not. 

the reason that he came to our University is because he wants to share his experience in training to be an astronaut. He was choosen among 11.450 applicants. and the lists was cut short to 4 people from Malaysia. 3 men and 1 Lady. he was one of the guys. then all that's left was Dr Faiz (i met him before at my school) and Dr. Sheikh himself.

He showed us videos of him drinking in space, praying in space and also sleeping in space which where we thought those would be impossible to do. he aslo explained to us about the 9G experiment. just imagine a baby elephant laying on top of you, that is how you feel when you're in the 9G experiment process. 

okay i should stop typing and enjoy these pictures of his taken by Fatin Nabilah (my coursemate) 



sweet smile ;)

his last words, "Malaysia Boleh!'
