  Without spelling out the details of the space program, the minister said this will be the biggest space event of Pakistan’s history.

First we should send satellite on our own,manned mission will be next step

 

[Areesh]

Hopefully it would be bilawal from Pee Pee Pee

 

[wali87]

And the person being sent to the moon is no other than Mr. Fawad himself. In recognition for his indispensable service to the science and tech in Pakistan.

Very good initiative by government. Fawad is taking some excellent initiatives.

 

[zulu]

Totally agree but keep that hubble guy away from this project .woh bhej tu dy gaa lana bhol jaye ga

Very good initiative by government. Fawad is taking some excellent initiatives.

there is no role of fawad in this, space cooperation agreement was first signed b/w China and Pakistan during mushy era and agreement for manned space mission was reached during previous government tenure

Well, there was the news of some agreement between Pak-China related to this when PM IK visited so I think it was finalisation. And of course, the current govt has to allocate the money.

this is a national program so it will not be credited to one government ....anyone in power will take it further pace of progress may differ

 

[N.Siddiqui]

Hopefully it would be bilawal from Pee Pee Pee

And with just one way journey and no returning back.

 

[Areesh]

And with just one way journey and no returning back.

Exactly

 

[Cent4]

A lot needs to be done in this field. We should have our own launch vehicle.

 

[Reichsmarschall]

Send Manzoor Pashteen on one way ticket to interstellar space

 

[war&peace]

A lot needs to be done in this field. We should have our own launch vehicle.

In fact, I would have decided in favour of SLV 100 out of 100 times instead of sending a man in the space I don't see any benefit in doing so whatsoever...

TBH, I don't see any benefit..it may be a personal gain for one individual but that's it. Nothing new. While if invest in SLV, that will be scientific advancement and we can earn money by launching our own satellite and also from other countries. So there's not much to take credit for this futile waste of money.

Develop your own SLV first. Token spaceman gestures are great for show, but limited for development.
