Popular Post snoop1130 Posted January 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2021 Lunacy or great leap forward? Thailand’s first moon mission ignites fierce debate Picture of the waxing gibbous moon as seen from Montevideo on Christmas Eve on December 24, 2020. (Photo by Mariana SUAREZ / AFP) Thailand’s first lunar exploration programme is scheduled to launch on January 13, though public debate on the moon mission has been raging since mid-December when it was unveiled by a minister. The ambitious plan to launch a lunar orbiter within seven years sparked questions about Thailand’s technological capabilities and whether a costly space mission is justified amid the virus-triggered economic crisis. On the other hand, some critics say the mission’s objective should be expanded beyond the moon. Anek Laothamatas, the minister of higher education, science, research and innovation, revealed the plan on December 14, announcing Thailand would build and launch its own spacecraft to orbit the moon within seven years – becoming only the fifth Asian country to do so after Japan, India, China and South Korea.

Whatever, it is pure lunacy when the country has been progressing backwards and the people are suffering more and more everyday. Of course that is just my view. I am sure someone will be along shortly to correct me and tell me I am once again bashing the Thai's. Just speaking truthfully. Take care of the country first then move forward Forget the Submarines, the space shuttle and definitely forget about resurrecting tourism for the next year or two. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
