Stargeezr Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Considering how much pollution happens at every rocket launch from the existing launch sites, why does Thailand or South Korea want another polluting site? I am just curious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention that the powers to be are Chinese minions. No one would be stupid enough to bring cutting edge technology to Thailand just to be handed over to the CCP. I am surprised Korea is even talking about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes very puzzling considering that Thailand will only be utilizing its skills in making the sandwiches and afternoon teas while korea will be in charge of all technological and scientific endeavours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just curious. Maybe they are building a electric rocket so there will be zero pollution. Aoc and Biden may have put their heads together one this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this day and age, where most societies are struggling to stay afloat, you'd think that we'd want to direct superfluous funding and infrastructure towards a more practical manner for the benefit of the commons. A reasonable inquiry might be posed as to why. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
