Plus Cavin peeing has nothing to do with the author and isn’t legal since he’s never let Calvin and Hobbs be merchandised.

For some applications like spacecraft where weight is critical, it does make sense to use hydrogen fuel cells as a battery. But usually it doesn’t make sense.
Nice, I’ll take a look!
I’m surprised it’s only 10x. Running a prompt though a llm takes quite a bit of energy, so I guess even the regular searches take more energy than I thought.
Plus you still need to launch a bunch of massive Saturn V rockets since so many people saw them launch. Unless they paid off everyone who said they were there? Building a moon rocket that doesn’t go to the moon isn’t that much cheaper than building one that does.
Because NATO has never accepted applicants with active territorial disputes.
As opposed to a lot of super compressed gas to haul around? I didn’t think this super niche use case justifies a whole different technology.
Scuba tanks only go up to 5.5ksi. I think you’d need more like composite over wrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) for 10ksi. Those are relatively new even in spaceflight. SpaceX discovered some new physics when their AMOS-6 mission exploded on the launch pad in 2016 due to oxygen freezing inside the composite layers.
Here’s some more info on carbon fiber tanks vs COPVs https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/comments/taibc7/in_our_experience_copv_gainpain_flattens_out/
You could find it by coverting 70k ton CO2 into ppm and multiplying by climate sensitivity.
That depends on a lot more factors for how dilute it gets. I didn’t know how likely it is for the air currents to dilute the aluminum exhaust over a large enough area before it rains. Maybe someone could do some analysis, but I don’t know how.
Yeah batteries would probably work. A large battery bank can have 1kwh of capacity, and induction stoves are about 1.5kw. Which means you could run a stove for about 40min. You could bring more for longer. I’m sure by the time you can’t get propane, batteries will have gotten much better too.
But they can still sell hydrogen, they can’t really sell solar panels. Even encouraging people to keep burning things (like hydrogen) benefits gas since it slows down electric alternatives to gas heating.
As I said, huge pressures. You’ll need super heavy or super exotic tanks.
Health wise, not global warming wise. The original post sounded like a global warming concern.
You’re concerned about the smoke rather than the CO2?
For pollution, at least CO2, 300M lb is 136k metric tons. I didn’t know the water to CO2 ratio for solid rocket motors, but I’d guess maybe half is CO2. Cars produce 1.5B tons of CO2 per year in the US, so the CO2 would be about equivalent to about 24 min of driving cars. That doesn’t seem too unreasonable.
But maybe you were taking about the metals? I don’t know how much of an issue those are.
I obviously don’t know all the cases, but if extending the life a second time is cost comparable to renewables, yes we absolutely should do it.
I dread when the scammers will start using LLMs and voice models for their scamming. They could afford so many more calls.
