Russian Rocket Ready to Take Malaysian to ISS
Engineers rolled a Russian booster rocket out to its launch pad at the Baikonur cosmodrome Monday in final preparation for the launch of a three-man crew, including Malaysia’s first astronaut, to the international space station (ISS)
The Soyuz-FG rocket with the Soyuz TMA-11 spacecraft attached to it will blast off into space from the Central Asian steppe on Wednesday night carrying Malaysian Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, Russian Yuri Malenchenko and American Peggy Whitson. Whitson will become the first woman to command the international space station. The gray and white rocket with the Malaysian flag and coat of arms was moved to the launch pad on train rails from its assembly site at the cosmodrome, which Russia rents from Kazakhstan.
Shukor’s 12-day mission is due to include the study of the effects of microgravity and space radiation on cells and microbes, as well as experiments with proteins for a potential HIV vaccine

Modern Clan Politics: The Power Of “Blood” In Kazakhstan and Beyond Amazon Price: $24.95 Above the Clouds: The Diaries of a High-Altitude Mountaineer Amazon Price: $13.22 This book is excellent reading for “armchair enthusiasts”, serious mountaineers, or anyone in between. Before reading this book I did not even know who Anatoli was. Now, I see him as one of the true great mountaineers. I really related to his feelings for the mountains, and I share many of his philosophies regarding climbing. Reaching the summit is not success; to be successful, you must make it safely down. Even if Mallory and Irvine reached the summit of Everest, they didn’t achieve success by living to tell about it. As a mountaineer and author myself, I was very pleased how easy I could relate to Anatoli’s feelings and philosophies about the sport of mountaineering. On page 123 he states that he treated the mountains “like cathedrals where worship gives you strength and strips off the scale of ordinary life.” He also told a different version of the accounts of the disastrous climbing month in May 1996 on Mt. Everest, which catapulted high altitude mountaineering to the front pages of newspapers around the world. I still view Reinhold Messner as the best mountaineer of all time, but had Anatoli lived longer he would have surely closed the gap.

The book does little to shed light on the cultural history and core of Kazakhstani society. An easy read, but not especially enlightening. “The Lost Heart of Asia” is a better bet for an incredible overview of the regions ebbs and flows and the cultural nuances which influence Central Asia, which is a more helpful view. Also consider “The Silent Steppe” for a modern history of the country.
