I actually don’t know, but I really doubt it.
The largest issue is that the soot from rockets is something like 500 times worse than normal soot and is absolutely horrible for the ozone layer. When these corps are questioned about environmental impact they typically dodge the question or compare it to the aviation industry which is a crock.
They very well may develop clean alternatives however so long as there is a demand but that also may increase costs in the short term and may hinder your goal.

I don’t know. The pollution affiliated with space flight is tremendous and I don’t know if the trend will be supported by governments if it becomes popular.
If only the elite can access it then the pollution may not be too crazy but if it’s affordable even for the minor rich I believe governments will get involved and regulate it or prevent it altogether.
But what do I know? The dollar talks and if there is money to be made and the government stays on its trend of not really caring too much about pollution then yeah you very well be able to go to space sometime in the future.

Las Cruces NM, Richmond VA, Ann Arbor Michigan, Chico California, and Tucson Arizona (deffo bottom of the list). We’re just looking for a 1-2 bedroom to establish ourselves. We’re leaning towards Las Cruces NM but crime makes us pretty weary. We don’t plan on having kids or anything like that and we have two cats. Around 52k income and I’m in between jobs currently but make anywhere from 19k-30k in the service industry and we have like 6 thousand saved up with another 3-4 thousand by the time we move.

Very true! Yeah I should’ve worded that differently and specified that high population cities are what fit the description. It’s easy to forget how large Brazil is as well, I never think of it being bigger than the continental US but yeah it surely is.

Yo, yeah lmao we’re definitely staying within the continental US.
I do hate to hear about the crimes rates in Brazil. I feel it’s a beautiful country with a beautiful culture as well. Always hoping the best for these regions and I think we will see them improve within our lifetimes so long as people continue to educate and spread awareness.

The program is more related to the use of hardcore drugs, I get what you’re saying and I understand the flaws of the military however the program is specifically successful with getting people off of alcohol and meth. Of course pain management is a whole different subject. I hope I’m not coming off as pro-military or anti-drug.

The federal government pays military vets for passed drug tests and has reported a lot of success over the years. The legislation in California is said to mirror the feds plan. It’s all in the article
I do want to say I also agree with your statement that combating addiction should also deal with managing pain and economic instability.

It’s extremely successful when the fed pays military vets to stay sober so I think you don’t know what you’re talking about lmao a Republican co-authored the legislation to top it off so the legislature isn’t some partisan BS.

Lmfao how do you look for an alien when the nearest star is multiple light years away?
You would have to have a seriously crazy telescope.

They absolutely do produce soot, and the production of hydrogen is horrible for the environment as well.
Methane is not so bad. Still produces soot but not nearly as bad.
Space X uses kerosene and liquid oxygen.
Virgin galactic uses HTPB and liquid nitrous oxide
Blue origin uses liquefied natural gas.
I do hope for alternatives for commercial use but am also very hesitant to support en made space tourism at the moment.
But you’re correct in that hydrogen and methane are cleaner that what is used now
