I got accused of being a Luddite because of my (negative) response to a post about SpaceX launching rockets every 2.5 days. There are reasons, beyond being a Luddite, for being against such enterprises.
- Podgajski 3y agoPeople telling me I’m a Luddite is just making me more and more of a Luddite.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoElon promised to switch to a carbon-neutral fuel (methane synthesized from atmospheric carbon). It'd be nice if some agency actually held him to that promise.
- stavros 3y agoWhere do they get the energy for the synthesis from?
- bryanlarsen 3y agoNothing but solar makes any sense, environmentally or economically. Example: https://terraformindustries.com/ https://terraformindustries.com/
- stavros 3y agoIt would be interesting to "store" solar energy as synthesized fuel. The efficency would probably be abysmal, but definitely interesting.
