One million launches per year seems to be adequate trade for 10% global emissions. This level of technology implies we are able to reduce emissions elsewhere.

- credit_guy 2y agoI agree with you. I was just stating a fact, not criticizing.
- bigfudge 2y agoI think it’s ludicrously optimistic to think that this would substitute for reductions elsewhere. What possible mechanism could reduce 10% of global co2 emissions when many of these launches will be tourists and starlinks?
- throw4950sh06 2y ago1 million launches per year implies at least a decade or two of development. There is a lot that can change in that time - for example energy production can move towards renewable and nuclear. Few decades more and we might get fusion too.
