You mean the Yaba Twins, Space..more of a black hole.

[Mark17AA]

These buffoons' can not even repair a footpath, put up a road sign with any logic to its position.. Space.. the nearest they will get is the gap between their ears.. the Thai black hole.  

[Katipo]

Perhaps it's just me, but the timing of this suggests a bunch of envious kids watching Richard Branson go Brrrrrr, rather than grown adults who are responsible for their country being in the midst of it's most catastrophic  pandemic ever!

[Mister MXYZPTLK]

This reminds me of that old Joke about the first Polish Astronauts traveling to the Sun.  During a press conference, a reporter asks….

Don’t you know that as soon as you get within 90 million miles of the Sun, you’ll burn up like a cigarette?

Where the Polish Astronaut answers…

HEY!  Wadda youd tink we stupid?  We go at NIGHT!

 

ONLY IN THAILAND.  You just can’t make this <deleted> up!

 

BTW, What ever happened to the Submarine purchase?  Oh I know.  It was 500 million Baht but the Chinese 

required a down payment of 5000 Baht.  It killed the whole sale.  Besides, it was too big to put in the Premier’s bathtub

The Thai Cabinet Committee yesterday, July 13th, has approved the draft Space Affairs Act, granting Thailand the opportunity to enter a new future of space technology and exploration.

They can't run an airline without driving into the ground through corruption, can you imagine the money to be creamed off a space programme..

[Purdey]

If they mean entice the aerospace industry to Thailand I would agree. GE did engine repairs in Thailand. The debacle of Thai Airways aside, there is the knowhow available. Thaicom engineers have shown that a satellite industry can work here. 

 

I doubt anyone would agree with pouring money into attempting manned missions but building parts and technology exchange is worth a look see. If there is one thing the pandemic has taught, it is that depending on one sector (tourism) doesn't work.

[Caldera]

It's mind-boggling how out of touch with the people you govern you need to be to devote any time to this in the current situation. Pathetic and utterly ridiculous.

 

A Thai space program would sound like a sick joke at the best of times.

People whose nation does not have any global famous scientist or designer or musician ....
People who still wash the ass using the bucket ... ... they gathered ... into space 5555

[BKKBike09]

I trust this new law also bans the service of alcohol in space.

 

As they might say here: "In sa-pate no-one can here you sa-kreem".

[mrfill]

Meanwhile, in tomorrow's news....

 

TAT announce 120 million tourists expected from space by the end of the year....

Well at least they wash the ass and not smear it around with tissue.

So funny and sad at the same time. 

[NCC1701A]

someone should tell them about The Borg.

[Surasak]

And in other news, people are dropping dead like flies due to no vaccines. But not to worry, Somchai will be the next man in space and all our problems will be solved.

Mars here we come!!!!!

to much stupidity that I was running out of words ... and they can't get the vaccination done, one has to wonder what their priorities are 555  ROFL

I think you seriously underestimate the capacity of the Thai government. ????

[DUNROAMIN]

They cant even keep the garbage of the streets and the road sides, or are they planning to send the garbage to Mars !!!!!

[Blumpie]

Whenever this news story pops up I can only think of the muppet show's Pigs In Space with that deep voice, but instead it's Thais In Space!!!!

Good grief, just think of the massive budget something like that would require?

 

[dallen52]

Maybe they want to look at the problems from another perspective.

 

Like outer space...

[Nanaplaza666]

I was wondering for a while already what the police where doing with those large Yaba hauls they catched , now i know they are giving them away to these clowns . 

[IamNoone88]

The first test would be to run a national airline without it going bankrupt. That hasn't gone well.

[SmartyMarty]

start exploring the space between the PM's ears.
