If you look at some of the other videos you have a big piece of PVC pipe with an equally big lump of palm tree attached, all just falling out of the sky ????

simon43 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Seriously though...... and speaking with my rocket scientist hat on ???? The article says 'build and launch'. That suggests a launch site, infrastructure and human skills necessary to launch the rocket that will carry this lunar probe. That's not going to happen in a long, long time, even if Thailand had 100% assistance from China. Then add in the launch vehicle, motors, fuel etc..... Then there's the actual lunar probe. That could be built with China's assistance, but it requires all the clean-room infrastructure, knowledge etc. Sure, Thailand already has clean rooms for semiconductor manufacture etc, but designing, building and testing a lunar probe is a tad ambitious for a nation that has zero experience in building space hardware, apart from a couple of Cubesats built with mucho assistance from countries, such as Japan. I think it's best to follow the old adage "learn to walk before you run", or more accurately for Thailand "learn to crawl before you walk".... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbbbooboo Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 JOKE: Why did the Thai moon mission fail? They forgot to fill the rocket tanks with fuel ?

khunPer Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 It's not allowed to eat Durian in public transportation, and lots of other places, but seems to be Okay for a space snack...???? –However, it might be bad to be onboard such a space vehicle, if you don't fancy Durian, I know from personal experience how my house can smell when my girls' goes berserk with Durian-appetite...???? My first thought when reading about a Thai lunar project was – apart from I cannot figure out how a 3 billion baht budget makes it possible – that there might be several earthly projects that could be of more importance to solve...???? But of course, there are so much I don't understand about amazing Thailand...???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesimps Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Go to the moon, don't make me laugh. They can't even get all their road traffic to drive on the correct side, or their trains to stay on the tracks. Do they yet have a locally designed and produced car?

steveyinasia Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Given that Moodys predicts Thailand will be last in the region to recover from these times, the last thing the country needs is a half baked idea of going to the moon. There is probably a reason why not many Asian countries have done this, it's a waste of the countries resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
