I finally get my wish to go to the Planetarium, and finding that the "Anti Gravity" chamber has given me a headache, but actually gives me a better idea of what it feels like being in microgravity. It wasn't the real thing yet, but it was certainly hard to stand. I felt like I could kiss someone by accident if I wasn't careful. Fortunately, I didn't kiss anyone, but I was mostly crashing into the wall on the left (simply because the room was titled to the left).
The Space Ball was under construction, so we couldn't try it out. I still got to try the space "loo" in the International Space Station exhibit. It was quite scary as it was sucking you down. That wasn't so bad. The REALLY bad thing was that there were kindergarten kids there, and they were a noise machine. We were watching a documentary on Space Threats, but I couldn't hear much, as they were going "WHOA" at every single sight of Earth and the Planets. For example,
"If a meteor that is larger than 1km across crashes into Earth and lands in an ocean/sea, it will cause a massive tsunami, even larger than the one in 2004." The reaction of the kids is simple: "WHOA!!"
Still, it was a very good trip. It would've been better if we didn't circle half round KL before finding Jalan Perdana.
Till next time,

Hello!
Hi everyone, welcome to my blog.
I've just started this blog out, so don't expect it to be "creme de la creme" at first. As stated in the title of my blog, I am a young astronaut in the making. I haven't been for any training stuff yet, nor have I been into space. But I am quite a dab hand at Astronomy. Before I go into too much detail, let me tell you how I developed an interest in space studies and astronauts.
It was when Malaysia's first angkasawan, Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Al Masrie was launched off into space on October 10th 2007. He had inspired hundreds of young Malaysians to believe in themselves, and dream big. Since then, I started studying about space. It was quite a surprising moment, for I never used to like things that were really difficult to do. But the success of the angkasawan has shaped my feelings about complicated things.
Learning about space is a very interesting thing to do. I hope that my dream will come true.
Till then,
Faizah
