It's a country that straddles the South China Sea. The first ever astronaut from this country arrived earlier today at the International Space Station.

The physician astronuat named Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor was transported by a Russian Soyuz spacecraft.

The Russian rocket booster with Soyuz space ship blasts off from the Baikonur cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, Oct 10, 2007.

He floated through the hatch into the station to begin his 10-day stay.

Shukar hopes his mission will inspire his southeast Asian nation, and Muslims all over the world. This country we're looking for struck a 900-million dollar deal with Russia to buy 18 Russian fighter jets...and to send its first astronaut into space.

By the way the government has drafted some rules for its first Muslim in space. Facing Mecca to pray is encouraged, but facing the Earth in any direction will do.

So what's the name of this largely Muslim country with its first astronaut in space?
