Reader Submission: Thai in space!
Thailand is also going into space, I read in The Nation. Thailand is going to build a lunar lander that will put the first Thai people on the moon. The newspaper contains technical data: the lunar lander weighs 300 kilograms and will escape the atmosphere at a speed of 11 km per hour, no less than!
Reading this, I think that the well-known Professor Triphonius Calculus (from the 'Tintin' series) knows more about it than this newspaper, or is one referring to a submarine?

The Nation has already recognized the mistake and removed the 11 mph; the escape velocity is 11 km/sec.
I think it's a pointless prestige project; those money could be better spent on other things such as fighting poverty, unemployment, improving roads in remote areas and education.
another project where half of the money ends up in other people's pockets and will soon be rusting away. No money for corona vaccine but for stupid things like this.
Thailand to the moon 555, they live in a fishbowl let them get out of there first
In Thailand that is the coconut.
The people who come up with this live under a coconut and don't like to be confronted with reality.

Let's first make sure that every thai is vaccinated and people don't ask for 500 baht to contribute to that vaccine
Thailand is in a middle class trap and then you can expect such things. They are doing well in terms of investments in infrastructure, but good and affordable education is also part of it. However, making a population smarter does not seem to be in the interest of the 20 richest families, so the soap will continue for decades.
Submersibles and moon trips...while the population still suffers from the annual floods...while the elderly have to survive on a "pension" of 700 baht/month...And the government continues to increase the budget for the army every year. Suckers have to make do with a “nice gesture” where a bag of rice, accompanied by a portrait, should replace their misery…Migrant workers from even more miserable countries are smuggled in to do jobs that Thais do not want to do…”Amazing Thailand”…
Submarines, high-speed lines, lunar landers, a channel between two seas.
Castles in the air and hot air.
If the lunar lander is in built-up areas………. he may (according to Belgian traffic standards) increase the speed to 30 km/h.
Happy Holidays !!!
And to think that many cars and roads in Thailand have more craters in the road surface than on the moon.
Jan Beute.
2 years ago I enjoyed driving a rental car 3.000 km through Thailand to the border with Burma in the north. I was surprised by the good roads. Often with separate lanes. And also striking, I didn't see a single accident!
I don't think the Thai government reports a traffic death toll of about 25000 annually for fun.
That is relatively 10 times as much as in the Netherlands.
Those 25k deaths are therefore only the regrettable deaths at the scene of the accident. Internationally, those who die within one month are also counted.
Thailand to the moon? Figuratively yes, literally never!
