PETALING JAYA - It will be a 10.10.10 star-studded wedding with a 'Castle in the Clouds' theme when national astronaut Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Al-Masrie takes the woman of his dreams as his wife in Ocrtober. Although his marriage to Dr Halina Mohd Yunos is still nine months away, the invitations had been sent out to 100 astronauts from over 35 countries to attend what is already touted as 'the wedding of the decade!' Bill Bora, publicist of the 38-year-old space celebrity said the wedding has been slated for Oct 10 this year but the venue is still inder wraps. The event comes three years after Sheikh Muszaphar made history for Malaysia by being the first man in the country to go on a space mission. He was part of the Soyuz TMA-11 team that worked at the International Space Station. The couple, engaged on Jan 1, had purposely chosen the date to also celebrate the asrtronaut's third anniversary of his space mission. What can we call our Malaysian space traveler ? In the United States of America , they call their space travelers Astronaut In Russia , they call them Cosmonaut In China , they are referred to as Taikonaut In Malaysia which term do you prefer ? Bolehnaut ? , Can or naut ? , au ta naut ? Actually I prefer Can or naut ( Can or Not ) since he is only a fee paying space traveler .
