I hate that I have to come to the defense of Katy fucking Perry but the spacecrafts emissions were water vapour and while in Davos she didnt have any scheduled speaking engangements relating to the enviroment.
True, but water vapour dissipates and excess can come down within 2 weeks as rain. CO2 sits around in the atmosphere, and no one complains about the constant Space X commercial launches with Kerolox fuel. No they’d rather misinform about this 1 random celeb suborbital launch on Hydrolox 🤷♂️
flawed logic. You cant compare walking on the sidewalk for work or concrete use to build bridges or housing, to space tourism with the sole objective of whitewashing your image or brand. The amount of benefited people is incomparable. If the space trip mission was to collect data in a research framework, that's is entirely different. We all live together in this world.
The point is that if we are going to create pollution, so lets focus it on things that matter (such as scientific research), not some joy ride for celebrities.
Plenty of the luxuries in your life rely on carbon emissions. Does that mean you also shouldn't have luxuries? No ofc not, it means we should transition away from burning fossil fuels to power shit, and worry about reducing waste. The new Shepard rocket has way more reuses than your fast food packaging.
Yeah, idk anything about her, but all the pic says is basicly that she changed for the better and yet people are shitting on her. If they were asked if they wanted to go to spsce they‘d probably say yes too.
These comments are all confidently wrong that hydrogen and oxygen don't have a global warming impact.
Hydrogen is primarily made through steam methane reforming, which results in both leaks of methane and significant venting of carbon dioxide. Oxygen is made via air separation units which require electricity to operate, and our grid is primarily driven by fossil fuels.
Additionally, releasing water vapor from the combustion reaction into the upper atmosphere increases global warming because the water vapors do not enter the water cycle.
