I’m familiar with the BBC, but I don’t know about their Russian service. Is it the same coverage, or an independent branch? I’ve seen articles by the investigator I think, but same thing, is this their Russian branch? I’ve never heard of the first one.

So which ones are those two? I’m not familiar with them.

Meaning one’s that didn’t agree with Russia’s official stance, or ones claiming to be independent but still funded by Russia? Those would be very different things.

I guess C4 is a WMD in Nashville? With that title I thought he was using nerve gas or a dirty bomb or something.

Okay, that’s resistive heating. So it’ll be the same efficiency as a oil heater or any space heater. So heating less space with it will save money.

Most all forms of heating are near 100% efficient, since it’s the waste heat you want. Unless the central heating is using a heat pump instead. Does your central heating use gas heating? If so, using it will probably be cheaper. If it uses resistive heating, the individual unit might be cheaper. But if it uses a heat pump, it might be cheaper to use central again. There are a lot of variables it’s hard to know.

How does musk make money? Do any of his stocks pay dividends? Does he get a salary from his companies? Or are they taking about increase in stock value?

It’d be pretty fun if some org with opposite political leanings bought the account.

Yeah, space Force bought the launches? With star shield, the DOD bought space on starlink sats.

You taking neutron? That still has a disposable upper stage.

US buys launches at the same rate as everyone else. NASA chipped in a few million to get falcon 9 off the ground, but they haven’t been subsidizing for years.

Looks more like the mitchells vs the machines to me.

But a very small portion of human activity is developing chips or launching rockets. Most of it is manufacturing disposable junk or building roads/buildings.

Good vid from real engineering on the subject

SpaceX launches in 2023 were about 0.02 megatons of CO2 directly. I don’t know how fugitive emissions from fueling and defueling, especially on starship with methane.

200,000kg/launch, 100 launches.

I don’t have access to dig though it right now, but I thought the NASA paper showed couple percent increase in ozone deterioration.

96 as of September 29 https://spaceexplored.com/spacex-launches-2024/

And they’re on track for ~130 this year.

How many percent is it?

One way is to put the link into something like this. https://twittervideodownloader.com/download

I don’t think Twitter mirrors work any more unfortunately.
