Pie in the sky.

First, aircraft carrier, then submarines. Now...spaceships. Wow. Just like America and Russia and China. What do you plan on calling the Thai version of NASA? Thailand Operates Space Ships?

 

Good luck boys. Just hope there isn't an election before you do it....

Surely a better way to show the world how developed Thailand is would be to develop the education system. Or is that too logical?

And reduce the yearly road kill, clean up all the <deleted> lying around, cull the soi dog population and feeding the homeless would be a good start.

Hm,..And what scientific interest or advancement would there be in your Cubeseat ????

The little payload that I've developed transmits signals in various different digital modes, to enable research/measurement into which mode provides the best S/N ratio under different propagation conditions, thus enabling future cubesat projects to achieve an optimum RF link budget whilst minimising associated costs, mass and power requirements.

Never a boring day in the land of giving just impossible to know what they'll be gifting tomorrow.

If it's anything like around my way let's hope there isn't a power cut at launch time.

How about a concerted national effort to clean the rubbish that lies everywhere, the deadly roads with no law enforcement, the millions of unemployed, the pollution that is choking the cities etc etc etc etc.....?

This country can not prevent Thais from killing each other on the highways, roads and streets. Yet they seek another way of killing by trying to send someone to the moon!

I blame this on China. This is the signs and symptoms of Covid-19 for those that have not be affected in this country.  What’s next.....????????????????

Leading Candidates for Thai Moonshot

 

 

If there is a "go fund me" for this project I would like to make a contribution.

When the people in government get used to spending tax payers money, they lose

common sense, as well as sense of responsibility. They seem to become stupid actually.

  This seems common all over the world.

Geezer

Simply pathetic. First billions on modern tanks, them billions on attack helicopters then more billions on useless submarines They can use them to target practice on their useless aircraft carrier. these generals are acting like a bunch of juveniles playing with their x box games. Students with masters degrees who can't speak English?Mind boggling stupidity.

Government plans for Thailand to build and launch its own spacecraft to fly to and

 

smash into the moon.

 

 

 

space-brake failure.

Admittedly, Thailand has some experience with the satellite business via it's Thaicom project. Foreign built satellites and foreign built ground control and launches abroad look good but it has never built and launched its own satellite.

Looking up at the moon and ignoring the poor people in the gutter is not going to win this government any friends. This is nothing but envy at what has been achieved elsewhere in Asia but no real priorities.

Timeline ;

1) Form a commitee of entitled generals.

2) Vote themselves a budget of several billion baht.

3) Design shiny new uniforms

4) Lunch

5) place orders with local Mercedes dealer

6) Pencil in next meeting 12 months hence.

7) Phone up mia noi to give her the good news.

   Yes, all the Thais sleeping on park benches will be able to proudly look up to the moon, (if pollution allows) happily knowing theres a Thai spaceship up on the moon 

I wonder if Prayut will be the first to fly in this craft and become the first Thai to orbit the Moon 

It is very early to be April Fool's Day!

It will be the beginning of a new culinary era on the moon as Pad Thai becomes widely available to all astronauts on the moon! 

 

Remember Yingluck's rice scheme?  This sounds like the military version.

Hey she's looking a whole lot saner than this lot.......  Tasty as well..... 

What absolute nonsense, it would be laughable except for the damage it may do to the economic future of the country. 

Surely this demonstrates clearly how out of touch these people are. 

The opposition should jump on this bovine excrement and use the issue to try and wake up the people who voted for these clowns 

Some troll posts and the replies have been removed. 

Just beyond stupid.

Thailand has way to many problems, to be wasting money on outer space.

Grow up authorities of Thailand.

They can't even get an aeroplane to fly without it going bankrupt, how will they manage a rocket? The only space here is the large open space in these ministers heads
