Great stuff

And I thought you were about a new space simulator á la Space Engine.

Anyhow. The video looks like another Iranian fake to me.

Can imagine having to take a match to light a Saturn V rocket?

It wouldn't surprise me if UK overseas aid paid for it

It would surprise me if the UK still had the funds to build a rocket like that.

Probably the last one we fired off

If we had had the funds we'd have beaten Sputnik into orbit.

Not to mention broken the sound barrier first.

The Thais have a thing about rockets:

I'm not sure that 'third world' is really that accurate though - it has the fourth highest GDP per capita in Southeast Asia, after Singapore, Brunei, and Malaysia.
