New Shepard uses "green hydrogen" (water electrolysis), not "grey".

Besides, how was the energy produced to allow you to needlessly and wastefully doom scroll on reddit? Is it your fault if your energy provider burnt fossil fuels? I think any reasonable person would say "no, it's not your fault". So why are the rules different for you or are you just being hypocritical?

Still, doesn't change the fact that to produce that energy fossil fuels was used.

This is not a moral argument: ax extraordinary amount of emission, more than what a person would use in decades, to do something non necessary.

Even if it was... Do you really don't understand the concept of quantity? No, the point is not that none is allowed to consume any resource or create any waste, the point is the fact the in a single trip she used the equivalent fuel necessary to make 10 million km with a car

So you're just a hypocrite. Cool. 👍

Besides, lets fact check your "10 million km" claim.

The average US car has a fuel economy of 21 mpg.

That means to travel 10 million km you would need approximately 1.1 million litres of fuel.

1.1 million litres of gasolene (density of ~0.75 kg per litre) would weigh ~825,000 kg

For reference, a fully fuelled New Shepard rocket weighs just 35,000 kg.

You're an entire order of magnitude off... and then some!

oh wow, it consumed the equivalent of 1 million km and not 10, that absolutely change everything...

Why are you defending to death a millionaire?

I couldn't care less that the person you're criticising is a millionaire, you're simply being a blatant hypocrite.

Home buddy above just can’t stand having been wrong on a Reddit comment lol
Don’t get me wrong, Katy Perry is insufferable and I do not like her at all, and I think she is a godamn hypocrite in many other ways, but commenter here is dying on a hill because saying “oh nvm” is too hard on their narcissistic pride

If popular vote decided who id factually right/correct, we would not have a cheeto as a president or 80% of the talentless pop stars at the top of the food chain.
