Angkasawan Pertama Negara, Datuk Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor kini ‘throwback’ foto-foto dan video semasa di berada di Stesen Satelit Antarabangsa (ISS) sebelum ini.
Katanya, apa yang bakal dikongsi merupakan suatu hal yang belum pernah dilihat netizen.
“Jalur Gemilang in space. October is the month of Space for me and I would like to share with you many footages which have not been seen before .
“Solat , Food , Experiments , Al Quran in space and many more, So for the next one week will keep you guys updated on my space journey way back in 2007 . Good Morning Everyone, PS – Flying in space is the best feeling ever!
“Video – Centrifuge training . Out of 11,425 candidates , the Final Four selected had to go to StarCity for a month training before only two will be chosen.
“This is the mini-centrifuge where it spins you upto 9G loads – imagine 9 times your body weight pressing on your chest and you just cannot breathe . You tend to lose consciousness because the blood does not flow to your brain during those times . Haha – Best feeling ever.
“The trick is to strain every 3 seconds so that your calve muscles squeeze and pump the blood to the brain …
“This scenario occurs during takeoff and landing of the Soyuz rocket . I experienced 12G’s during my Emergency landing back then. I know all astronauts dread to be in the centrifuge me included .
“It’s not a great feeling to be in the centrifuge but we don’t have a choice, Love As
Always .“PS – The Russians do have the biggest Centrifuge in the world in StarCity which we tried at the later stage . PSS – Spasibo = TQ.
“Pic – AlQuran in space .I brought along 2 AlQuran during my journey to space . One was given by my mom who was worried of my safety and reminded me to read the Quran onboard the ISS.
“My mom has always been worried of me the day I joined the Angkasawan Programme . She actually lost 10kg during my 11 day stay in space .
“My late father – AlFatihah to him has always believed I would be the one chosen right from the very beginning but was in shocked after seeing my launch in Baikonaur .
“MasyaAllah – The sacrifices of both my parents were unbelievable which gave me the strength to face the challenges on setting foot in
space .“And surely they are everything to me. Good Morning Everyone. PS – The AlQuran will always be in my safekeeping reminding me of every step to become an Astronaut . Love As Always,” tulisnya.
Wow! Sememangnya apa yang dikongsikan beliau memang sangat memberi inspirasi terutamanya kepada anak-anak muda. Mungkin ramai yang ingat berada di angkasa lepas itu mudah namun ternyata ia tidaklah seperti yang disangka kan?
Apa-apapun, MH tak sabar untuk melihat foto atau video yang bakal dikongsi lagi beliau!
