“Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Al Masrie bin Sheikh Mustapha” is a great person. He always is an idol for a certain people. Same goes to me. I also admire him since he participant for a ‘angkasawan programme’ and he become famous from there.
Talk about sibling, Sheikh Muszaphar has a 5 brother. There are Sheikh Mustapha Shukor Al-Masrie, Sheikh Taufik Shukor Al-Masrie, Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Al-Masrie, Sheikh Ahmad Shukor Al-Masrie and Sheikh Arwiz Shukor Al-Masrie.
Sheikh Muszaphar was born on July 27, 1972.He is ex-MRSM, Muar student before continue studying at UKM. He is a Malaysian medical doctor and is scheduled to be the first Malaysian to go into space when he is launched to the International Space Station aboard Soyuz TMA-11 on October 10, 2007. He is flying as spaceflight participant under an agreement with Russia through the Angkasawan program, and will return to Earth with the Expedition 15 crew members Fyodor Yurchikhin and Oleg Kotov after nine days aboard the station.
The Expedition 16 crew members pose for a portrait at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. From the left (front row) are Russia’s Federal Space Agency cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko, flight engineer and Soyuz commander; astronaut Peggy Whitson, commander; and Malaysian spaceflight participant Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor. From the left (back row) are European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Léopold Eyharts, astronaut Garrett Reisman and astronaut Dan Tani, all flight engineers.
About Angkasawan programme, one of the main objectives is to inflame interest in science and technology among young Malaysians. It hopes to motivate and inspire all Malaysians. Television programmes showing the launching and landing of our first angkasawan were watched by millions of Malaysians on Astro’s television channel Angkasa 1.
Sheikh Muszaphar gives me much inspiration about life. We must work hard to get what we want in this life. Don’t give up until we get what we want in this life. So, I hope he will become a successful person and achieve what he wanted in this life.
