This is about as much as a normal flight from LA to Sydney.
Unfortunately there is no real way to do rocketry without burning fuel. We will have to offset it with carbon capture.
- avmich 3y agoTheoretically, hydrogen or ammonia burning don't produce CO2, among relatively popular rocket fuels. In practice, methane could make less CO2 than kerosene. Also, rockets are still relatively small part of aviation regarding exhaust, though with SpaceX efforts the rockets part will grow.
- wilg 3y agoSpaceX's next-generation rocket uses methane, at least.
