Captor Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Maybe that is a good thing because they are forced to take care of the air pollution first in order to see the moon in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glaswegian2 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Another ego-driven scheme to spend taxpayer's money. Mr. Prayuth and his colleagues should be ashamed but of course they won't be.

AMFWolfie Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 7 hours ago, webfact said: Thais far from over the moon with govt plans to launch its own space program Image: United Launch Alliance photo - file photo Government plans for Thailand to build and launch its own spacecraft to fly to and orbit the moon have been met with a barrage of criticism online. On Monday, Minister of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation, Dr Anek Laothamatas, said that Thailand will launch its own space program as early as next month and that within seven years, the Thai government will have built its own spacecraft. He said that Thailand will follow other Asian nations such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea in sending a spacecraft to the moon. Dr Anek made the announcement about Thailand’s ambitious plans to fly to the moon at a press briefing regarding the COVID situation in Thailand and the progress the country has made regarding a possible vaccination. “Besides the important announcement of Covid-19 vaccine production, we also proudly announce that Thailand will be the fifth nation in Asia that will be able to build a spacecraft and send it to orbit the moon,” he said. “The Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation and the Thai government will move forward for the future of our country. The project will forever change the whole perspective of Thai people that Thailand is no longer a developing country but is a country with a future, opportunity, and hope.” However, the plans were widely criticised by all corners of Thai society, with those commenting saying the government should focus its efforts on more pressing priorities. One detractor included famous Thai singer Pharunyoo “Tack” Rojanawuthitham, who said the money used for the space program should be spent elsewhere. According to Sanook, Tack took to Instagram to ask: “Before going to the moon do you want to complete Rama 2 road first?” “Why don’t we use the budget for other essential schemes?”, he added. Meanwhile, opposition MP Vanvaree Talomsin took to Twitter to urge the government to tackle the pollution crisis in the Thai capital rather than try and fly to the moon. Other Thais commenting online said the government should focus on helping people left jobless due to the COVID-19 pandemic, while one poster said the minister was “daydreaming”. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2020-12-16 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Seriously!! Do they really think ANY Thai people give a monkeys about a space program with such a large percentage of the population destitute over the effects of Corona virus.

I told you Somchai was going to be next on the moon, when i read this headline i honestly checked the date, and no it wasn't April the 1st ! Is there anymore proof needed that jumping through hoops to this lots orders is madness, just wait till the van comes round with the lads with the jackets with long sleeves and carts em all off to the bouncy room house...... Baan Baaa ! Can you believe it ? Thailand's in the worst state it's been in for years and they've come up with this beauty ....... Maybe this is why they're offering visas to professionals, hoping to scrape up some rocket scientists on the cheap !
