KhaoYai Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 10 hours ago, rooster59 said: Thailand will build a spacecraft within seven years with a budget of around Bt3 billion, according to the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation. This will almost certainly never happen but the preliminary viability studies etc. will cost billions - creating a lot of shall we say 'opportunities'. Its a bit like Boris Johnson's 'Garden Bridge' over the Thames that cost £35 million (1.4 billion baht) before being cancelled without a single inch being built. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertyongym Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 What about creating more jobs for the people, especially the younger Thai University graduates? What about feeding the poor and helping them get on their feet? What about reducing the crime rate? The list goes on and on but you guys don't care. Or has anyone missed anything out? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expat Tom Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 HAHAHAHAHAHA! OMG! I wasn't aware that it was now legal to smoke pot in Thailand for certainly the people coming up with this nonsense are high on something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A government that doesn’t know how to govern, that lets its people beg for food and help, that lets its infrastructure crumble to dust ,that accepts 20 000 plus deaths on its roads and does sweet <deleted> all to stop it, now wants to fly to the moon ? Are they mad , delusional or what ? Yes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy3943 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 "The spacecraft will travel at 11 kilometres per hour to the moon".... (average 384,000 Kms) Will arrive in almost 4 years. Hopefully can increase the speed on the way back and doesn't burn after entering earth atmosphere... So over 16 years we will know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laislica Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 11 hours ago, Jingthing said: Why? IMHO, this is because Thai Government has realised that their reliance on tourism is wrong and too vulnerable to change like Covid. They want to announce to the world that they are ready to take on tech businesses and what better way to do that than with such an eye popping statement? The Big Picture?
