Didn’t that just happen with the Tonga eruption? I guess they wouldn’t be adding all the water though.
This is totally dumb. I wouldn’t want one attached to my building. How heavy are they? I’m guessing it doesn’t snow there? How do you weed it when it invariably gets infested with weeds. The irrigation system is sure to break, how do you service that? This will look like absolute shit in a year.
I make canvas and awnings. Shade sails are almost always really stupid. Big bucks for very little bang. Most of the day you end up with a wee thong shadow halfway up the wall
“You can be the type of text that blends into the background and makes the message really hard to read.”
Hubble is so far away it won’t reenter for a very long time. And that’s 1 versus 12000.
I’m not sold on the argument that it’s okay to do this bad thing because other things are worse. No cows are farting in the stratosphere, the article is mostly about high altitude emissions being significantly worse. None of that cloud that showed up on radar was on fire.
The starlink constellation is-
Nearly 12,000 satellites are planned to be deployed, with a possible later extension to 42,000.
If they last 5 years that’s 2400-8400 deorbiting per year. These aren’t the ones “answering the mysteries of the universe” these are the ones selling internet access.
From the article-
plunge through the atmosphere and disintegrate, leaving a stream of pollutants in their wake. Although scientists do not yet know how this will influence Earth’s environment, Dr. Ross thinks that it will be the most significant impact from spaceflight.
The only difference between “burn up on reentry” and “burn up in a bonfire” is altitude. I’ll call the police of my neighbor is burning TVs in their backyard every other day.
I’ve been a big sci-fi guy and have loved following the devolopments in space in the last few years. I watched all the early spacex landing attempts and have been quite interested in starship progress. I started having thoughts about pollution and sustainably with the launch of starlink. We’re going to have thousands of satellites going through a revolving door of launch and de-orbit. But it’s ^okay because they’re all “just going to burn up on reentry”? So that’s pretty much like taking your TV, a bunch of other electronics and some solar panels and throwing them in a bonfire? Over and over and over? And that’s okay?
I was exited for starship because that uses methane and that’s good, right? When it burns it just exhausts water vapour, right? Except when it vents on the pad after an abort or test. Except when an engine doesn’t light and it’s just pumping that methane (and o^2) out the engine like a fire hose. Except when it RUD’s at altitude. Then it’s injecting methane, a decidedly worse global warming gas then co^2 into the upper atmosphere. During the last starship test the cloud released showed up on weather radar.
To me, it’s starting to look like by the time we get to Planet B, Planet A will have turned into the same poisoned wasteland.
The next rung on the ladder to enshittification.
Maybe they’re creating a space for all the kids who grew up on roblox to move into adulthood? Kinda like the adult happy meal.
Let me introduce you to a slice of Canadiana, Seeing Things about a reporter who gets psychic visions about crimes. The visions are usually pretty ambiguous and the episode is spent working out what they mean. A part of our heritage
