The untold story of Malaysia's role in SpaceX's survival.

Malaysia was instrumental in keeping SpaceX alive in its early years. One could argue it helped save Elon during his lowest financial period.

Falcon 1's first three launches, 2006 to 2008, all failed. The company was nearly bankrupt — grown men were weeping after the third failure. The fourth flight in September 2008 finally reached orbit with a dummy payload, RatSat. But still, no paying customer.

SpaceX needed a real commercial customer to prove the business was viable.

That customer was Malaysia.

Malaysia was looking to launch its satellite, RazakSAT, and needed a reliable, cost-effective option. Dr Ahmad Sabirin first give Elon a call on Christmas 2003 to explore the possibilities of launching of satellite to the low equatorial orbit and met in El Segundo, And after many discussions, they agreed to launch from Omelek Island in the Kwajalein Atoll.

On July 14, 2009, RazakSAT flew — the fifth and final Falcon 1, and SpaceX's first-ever commercial launch. The Malaysian flag Jalur Gemilang was painted on the side of the rocket.

That payment helped SpaceX make payroll through its hardest stretch. And it put Malaysia in orbit. Win win.

For old times' sake, Elon should drop by Malaysia. Ask someone to hold his teh tarik for one more handshake.

Dr Ahmad Sabirin & Elon, 2004.

Azalina cakap pasal tiada halangan ambil alih bisnes. Dia cakap pasal tiada subsidi. Ya Allah orang bukan nak dengar pasal sistem/akta. Orang nak tahu macam mana korang 30+ menteri dalam kabinet nak selesaikan masalah rasuah, kepincangan sistem & loophole akta berkaitan pelarian!

Palestinian get platform: *condemn Israel and ask world to recognize Palestine

Rohingya get platform:
*blame the countries that helped them instead of Myanmar and never once speak about Rohingya to get recognition as citizen/autonomy/ independence from Myanmar

I wonder why? 🤔

[Dilla | Human Art @dilladontdodat]

She can use this huge spotlight given to her to be vocal against Myanmar and encourage the world to support her homeland freedom

But nope lets waste it on telling the world how unsafe she felt in Malaysia she couldn't even sleep well.

[Bitcoin Malaya @bitcoinmalaya]

This Marie Claire Women of the Year award winner is a Rohingya activist

she sharply criticised and condemned Malaysia, a country that has hosted the largest number of Rohingya refugees in the region and borne huge costs

yet not a single word about Myanmar, where the genocide against her people actually took place

it appears she hates Malaysia more than she hates Myanmar

Bangun2 untuk Subuh dah baca komen bodoh dari seorang INDIA yang claim duit kurban ni kerajaan yang bayar dan kerajaan juga bayar orang Islam utk bukak puasa.

Everyday they keep exposing their echo chamber talking topics.

And every accusation from them is a confession.

Mall2 mati kat malaysia yang berlambak ni semua boleh transform jadi sekolah and hospital. Rugi space je.

[Local Man ⊙⊝⊜ @A_Hxrrxz2nd]

KKM kata perlukan sekurang-kurangnya 2 hektar untuk bina hospital baru.

Sebagai perbandingan, pusat data NEXTDC yang MB Selangor rasmikan di PJ Seksyen 51a semalam, keseluruhan kompleksnya dibina atas tanah seluas 10 hektar.

Renung-renungkan dan selamat beramal.

Bila orang cakap tak nak Malaysia jadi macam Singapore, ini yang kita maksudkan. Nak azan kat negara sendiri pun kena komplen. Tapi Melayu liberal yang bertuhankan duit semata akan ignore benda ni.

*Chinese did something stupid
*Malays react
Cina: “omg these ppl are so racist”

You wanna see the real racist and supremacist? Read the comments from non-malays in any news like Mkini, Malay Mail, FMT etc esp english medium. Behaving like the very pendatang (cuz they are lmao).

Yang menafikan hak budak budak cina ni ialah UEC sendiri. UEC dicipta sebab nak menafikan sistem pendidikan negara. Tak mahu terlibat dari kecil sampai besar. Tak nak ambil SPM. Tetiba nak masuk sistem universiti awam. Nama exam pun - 华文独立中学统一考试. Masuk la uni di China.

He is right to call out those so called ‘historians’ in universities. Most of them makan gaji buta pun. Complacent and no new research, no new findings or even new POVs. Ada lagi yang masih percaya Parameswara yg lari dari Palembang tu ialah Parameswara yg sama buka kota Melaka.

Mengarut betul TNG bagi alasan “Transaction performance” nak hapuskan auto-reload guna Debit Card di TNG eWallet.

Inilah jadi kalau company monopoli dah makin tamak. Nak maksimumkan untung dan kurangkan kos.

Pahadal fungsi tu diguna oleh berjuta orang. Diaorang tak kisah semua tu.

Dah satu kerja nak topup manual sekarang. Menyusahkan betul. Pilihan yang ada wajib guna CC dan kena bayar fees.

Semoga kita ada option lain selain TNG nanti. Aku akan stop guna Apps ni untuk benda selain tol lepas ni.

Bagus penduduk sini takde buat kecoh gaduh2 pun. Semua faham law tetap law, takde sorang pun petik pasal kaum semata2 nak pertahankan binaan dorang.

Tak macam lagi satu tu, berpusing sana sini nk pertahankan benda yang salah.

Btw, how come sederet kedai ni diruntuhkan dengan cepat, tapi kalau kuil tanpa permit bukan main lama nak setelkan?
