I could be wrong, but some things ain’t adding up ?…..lol Tbf it’s not released anymore carbon than a flight to LA. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 10,446 Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) I salute the astronauts on Artemis 11. You would have to drag me into that rocket. Terrifying prospect. Good luck to them. Is it me or is there a hint of DEI going on in the choice of crew? If so no Asian and no oriental . Shame on NASA! I sincerely hope the lady does not have her time of the month during the flight. It would be hell on earth for her fellow astronauts and no escape. Edited 4 hours ago by jukel123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I need @chartpolskiexpertise were im not sure Petrol or a diesel car th by products of combustion are mainly h20(water ) carbon dioxide not much today and some soot from a diesel why there is a dpf otherwise a modern diesel is clean Now for chart I aint a clue about rocket or jet fuel.for planes but jet fuels a hydrocarbon so the same ? And i cant see a rocket been any different So to say all the fuel burnt is like a plane ride to the usa is comical for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Commercial aircraft use, mainly, JetA, which is basically paraffin. Spacecraft use liquid oxygen as far as I’m aware. Two completely different means of propulsion .

I was meaning by products of the combustion not fuel Parafin ?kerosene diesel really so same by products ? Oxygen is flammable isn't it see that women in hy oxygen chamber and that horse made a spark kicking the wall But it must have by products ill read up on it soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lenmcharristar 10,727 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Well unless they use the zero point energy from the black projects, they will just blow smoke up our ass and use fossil fuels or chemical fuels, solid or liquid propulsion, just imagine the clean free energy we could be living with, oh aye thats right we cant have opec going tits up so stick a hike on the price for even thinking that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
