Opponents Vote to Send Egypt's Morsi into Space
[An Nahar] Opponents of Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi are voting to send him where no Islamist leader has gone before: outer space.
Morsi on Saturday was leading the field in Egypt in an online contest sponsored by deodorant makers Axe to send a lucky few on a shuttle operated by space tourism company Space Expedition Corp.
Egypt's opposition movement April 6 entered Morsi into the competition.
"With God's help, and under His care, Morsi will soon be launched to the moon," the group said on its Facebook page, along with a picture of the president in a spacesuit.
The presidency has not responded to the campaign on behalf of the former engineer and self-professed "Planet of the Apes" fan.
