Malaysia finally has decided on its two Astronauts.
Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, 34, and Kapt (Dr) Faiz Khaleed, 36, have been selected by the selection panel headed by my father, Tun Mohammed Hanif bin Omar. Sheikh Muszaphar will most likely be the first Malaysian astronaut to be launched into space September next year after a 12-month training, with Dr Faiz as his back-up.
