    Nothing cleaner than rocket fuel, you should drink some.

    Nothing cleaner than 24/7 solar energy beamed down to the Earth and sold so cheaply every coal and nuclear plant is put out of business, ending most of the CO2 burning. And so cheap it’s used to power carbon sequestration. And indoor agriculture.

    Such as eating burgers for breakfast and being overweight?

    The things the global south wants, yes. The things China uses coal to strive for, yes. The things you disparage and take for granted that billions of people only dream of, yes.

    there’s no cheese on the moon

    There are, however, metals in the regolith and enough O2 to power an inner solar system economy that will allow us to mine for and go wherever the fuck we wanted without having to really launch materials up from the Earth like that. Lunar regolith is 40% oxygen by weight. You know, the rocket fuel you want me to choke on while your brethren condemn me for saying the same things when I oppose rape apologia

    So do go and do some research on it. Space didn’t just go away because Nixon canned the Moon program back in the 70’s.
