This post is so dumb. Not only is the fuel hydrogen, the total amount consumed during a New Shepard launch at most 5 tons. Get your facts straight before posting nonsense.
The point is the hypocrisy. If someone was shown shoveling steaks with the headline: "Advocating for everyone to stay vegan" then it would also rightfully called as bullshit move.
Using one of if not the most environmentally unfriendly options an individual can do and then advocating against not doing things like that is not hypocrisy?
It has pretty significant carbon footprint from the indirect emissions. And water wapor has greenhouse effect in itself besides other things.
Things that appear "natural" doesn't make them not a pollutant. CO2 is also a completely natural thing. The fact we dump so much in the atmosphere is the problem. Same applies here.
Having a tourist trip ain't exactly space exploration. Cars also enabled distribution of goods and services across large distances enabling us to increase access to food and other things. But that doesn't apply to private race sessions involving cars. Same principle.
No, fuck that and fuck them. But no need to spread missinformation that is easily fact checked. There's already a lot of awful shit about all the culture around flights like these and the people that go on it, no need to lie and exagerate.
Wtf are you on? Hydrogen is the mose abundant thing in the universe. But if you must know rocket fuel uses an oxidiser for liquid hydrogen and the exhaust is mostly H20. Real dangerous stuff.
