Thailand. The hub of space travel.

 

Somchai wants to get in early and open a somtum stall for all those Chinese astronauts that are going there.

 

Never mind the poor, jobless and poorly educated stuck on Earth.

Too damn right......you don't get to be a Hi-So worrying about things like this.

is it their first step of their plan to find intelligent life?

Should we buy more subs or create a space program?

 

better to tackle worthwhile stuff like pollution prevention....

Another one to add to the list of wasted money:  bullet trains, submarines,  extra large buddha statue in BKK., and now Thai Space Force...  meanwhile people are out of work in the province.

Try fixing the crop burning air pollution debacle first if you ever want to be considered more than just a third world hellhole.

Well at least China now has a place to offload its old space junk to or is this an early April fools joke

The Wong Stuff.

No need to explore space, there is enough between the ears of most government officials.

Why not ????.. they can draw from all those rocketer's in  N.E. Thailand.

Bamboo,Plastic pipe it should not cost that much.

I am sure that is where they will draw the talent from. Nobody else has ever built a rocket.  

First they want to buy 2 subs. from China, now they want to go to space. Has tourism picked up that much? Or are you getting into debt with China? I for one hope they are not.

Thaksin 1 to ground control. The noodle trolley has landed.

Let's hope it will be a manned space craft. No prizes who should be the first astranount.

Thailand........space rocket...........moon.

 

What could possibly go wrong?

Can't imagine any Thai being prepared to eat space rations....

I wouldn't want to be anywhere near a Thai trying to launch a spacecraft - they can barely drive road vehicles. It'll probably crash into the moon or hit a satellite.

Trying to orbit the moon may well result in establishing a Thai colony on Mars. 

There are many more important earthly problems to solve.

Danger Will Robinson, Danger.  

Stick with barking at it will be far cheaper ????

"Vanity, thy name is Thailand"

Can you imagine it????

It will be the first time a structure made mostly of blue pipe has landed on the moon

Brilliant reply

I managed a picture of them doing a few test runs

You detractors will all be choking on your laughter when in the near future a government minister will be talking from Uranus.....what do ya mean "he already is" ....? 

April the first is a long way away,,,,,or so I thought ?

Given the vacuum between the ears of government ministers there is a lot of space to explore....?.

News Flash: Crash landing on the moon. 

Somchai's excuse: The brakes failed, later to be discovered he fell asleep at the wheel (controls).

Well they have sent monkeys into space before. Too bad they are not still alive as they could train the Thai pilots. Maybe they could take a monkey with them so if something goes wrong they can blame the monkey to save face.

This is about the nearest Thailand will get in the next 200 years to orbiting the moon !
