Re: Astronomy, cosmology and space thread

When the manned flights go to Mars, I hope they take along a rover that can to a long distance and be used to go to some of those failed sites to gather wiring and other things that can be used to build and expand their housing projects. Cleaning up that planet after their arrival should be of a fai...

Re: Leicester FC owner's helicopter crashes

So it was a tail rotor issue that caused the crash. I hope there is a conclusion as to
what happened mechanically that was the cause.

Re: Rich getting richer: Thailand most unequal country in 2018

I think that Trump is also a good example of rich getting richer.
I can only hope that someday a democratic government will get established in
Thailand and the military can go back to being just military, just will not hold my
breath waiting for this to happen.

Re: How can Thailand curb its appalling road fatality rate?

HHtel, Thanks for the video, I found the last one with the elephant, entertaining, and very happy that I was not in the back of the unfortunate pickup. Seeing some video of European dash cams especially from Russia, was a bit of a shock as well. I feel lucky that I have not seen more of those crashe...

Glad to hear that the weather provided some rain, as the local dams could likely use the
water for the dry period later in Winter. One month til I arrive in good old HH. Hope the
weather patterns are drier after that at least for a few weeks.

Sorry, the restaurant is closed, and we were ordered to plug the entrance way.

Re: Minivan, bus and road accidents

2 AM yes likely dozed off. I ride with Sombat Tour buses, during the day as the drivers look fairly
awake, and I have not had a problem with the Bangkok to Hua Hin portion of their route.
My Thai family use the company quite often as well and trust them way more then the mini
bus services.

Re: How can Thailand curb its appalling road fatality rate?

I agree with BB that 10,000 baht fines should be the normal fine or higher, and take the vehicles of the repeat offenders, would also help them to see the light. This 200 or 400 baht tea money is not making a single one of the offenders change their ways. The police force has to change their attitud...

Re: Massive exodus from Bangkok - 7 deadly days of Songkran begin

Another year, another Songkran, more people owning cars, more young inexperienced drivers,
driving drunk, high, or both, and yes texting or getting a selfie, and here the numbers are
up again. Very sad, but I do not expect to see any changes at least for a few more years.

Re: Astronomy, cosmology and space thread

I guess there were no ships or anything that got video or pictures of the Chinese Space Station when it blazed its way back to Earth. Darn! I for one do not want to see any of the real space ships with Aliens on board. I doubt that they will be very friendly, but they will be a lot more intelligent ...
