BananaStrong Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 There really should be a checklist... 1. military. you really do need to protect your country from itself and from others 2. education 3. poor 4. more social programs 5 to 199 : maybe in Thailand it's rice or rubber or manufacturing or whatever. and then #9890343759084574358427538495745438 Earth Exploration Satellite funding 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I underestimating the science and technology here? Good to see everyone hoping they will have similar success as the UK. LONDON (AP) — British officials and space scientists said Tuesday they were disappointed but not deterred after the first attempt to launch satellites into orbit from the U.K. ended in failure. https://apnews.com/article/science-united-kingdom-aerospace-technology-76e49c8ee5a02bcde6fc1ddb7d629042 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A satellite is not required for this. just to learn English, which for better or worse is the 2nd language of the World, and teach English and geography (most cant even read a map) in Thai schools to give students the tools to get a passport and go explore the outside of Thailand for themselves Not keep the population chain bound, brainwashed and blinkered by Thai so that they can be more easily controlled, manipulated and exploited for cheap labour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKDfella Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) The THEOS (Thai Earth Optical Space system) programme was set up in 2005 and was intended to benefit from several other new space programmes at the time. If memory serves, the parent company was European Aeronautic Defence and Space (AEDS), a French company. Thai engineers were to attend extensive training from European experts. However, I didn't follow it up but I do remember that the scheduled launch was before 2010. Maybe that was THEOS-1 which I don't recall reading about. Perhaps someone else on the forum has more up to date info. Edited January 27, 2023 by TKDfella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were the same as your home country, would you be able to afford it here? How’s about the average Indian wage while poverty reigns supreme and Britain still sends them billions every single year. They have a huge space industry compared with Britain. All irrelevant. Britain has a Space agency and sent a rocket up in 1971 successfully. It also has or is about to launch from a Virgin aircraft a rocket carrying satellits. 1986 saw a British woman in Space (Mz Sherman) and more recently Space walks carried out by Brits. Wish people would stop the derogatory spin about the UK. We just don't boast everytime we cross the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
