Thailand has embarked on an ambitious plan to be at the forefront of the space travel industry for the Asia-Pacific region.

Earlier this week, officials from Thailand’s Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA) met with their counterparts from Sweden’s Space Corporation (SSC) and Jon Åström Gröndahl, Swedish Ambassador to Thailand, to outline collaboration plans in the development of space technology.

According to Manager, Sweden is the largest foreign investor in Thailand’s burgeoning space programme having already developed the satellite ground station located at the Space Krenovation Park near Laem Chabang.

The SSC will help Thailand with such things as satellite operations, rocket and balloon systems, launch services and also provide expertise in aerospace engineering.

Their prototypes have been quite successful as witnessed during the annual 'bang bun fai' rocket festival, during which some of the projectiles have fared slightly better than the recent fiasco of Elon Musk rocket launch.

Wouldn't it be better if they invested in getting water to flow inside sewerage pipes before launching rockets into space? Just a thought!

You know what would be even cooler? If NASA had the US military's budget. Just think what NASA could do with like $700 billion every year instead of ~$18 billion.
