Starship has flown hops and landed and its from an enterprises that not only has gone to orbit, but is the planet's premier launch service provider.
New Glen is a couple of pictures of incomplete tanks and fairings.
If Blue Origin wants to be taken seriously, they gotta actually make an orbital rocket and actually go to orbit. You can't just burn money without results and expect people to take you seriously. Its been what, 20 years? I think people (and Nasa) have been patient with them.

Gini coefficient is absolutely shit as a measure of anything useful, its worth reminding. Its skewed toward small populations and shit economies.

Would still be too much ecological footprint for 8 billion people, much less 10.

Texas being at 30% renewables and growing has nothing to do with offshoring factories. Yes, everyone should stop buying stuff from China, because its a horrible dictatorship destroying the planet. That doesnt erase the domestic progress.

Its about the trend. China is increasing its GHG, USA is lowering them. And yes, we should heavily tax imports from China because of this.

USA has been investing heavily in renewables and getting results. China is building dozens of coal plants a year. No reasons to shit on progress.
Im neither american nor chinese BTW.

For the current population to be environmentally sustainable, everyone should live at most like the people of Niger.

You want worse than Niger?

USA's GHG emissions have peaked in 2006 and are continuing to trend down rapidely, and thats despite an -unsustainable- population increase.

>Than we have space to feed more than 10 billion people
And then what? What are you gonna cut for the next 10 billion? The next 50 billion?
Population growth is not sustainable. There is no level on consumption low enough to support infinite people.

Fresh Prince of Belair was about a very unlikely rich black family in very much caucasian Belair in the 90s. But it worked because it served to tell an interesting and pertinent story with a stellar casting.
In That 90s Show you can tell the casting was about diversity checkmarks and not telling a good story or hiring the best actors. You can tell because the actors are awful. Sorry kids. It feels forced and cringey.

Its casting is also farther from anything good.
I mean did they try to find the blandest bunch of kids they could? Callie Haverda / Leia is the only one you might remember in a crowd and she delivers her lines like its high school theater. Not that it would save the show with it being written like a Nickelodeon afterschool special.
You can't recreate magic, but I can't believe they greenlit that casting and those scripts.

None of them do, sadly. Bill Nelson was an awful nomination from the current administration, for example. Neither side has a sensible vision for space and they all use NASA to score political points.

But you should make it at the same facility as you make methane, not store and transport it with at huge losses.

And you did it for cheaper :) People saying "just wait til New Glenn launch next year" are hilarious. Ive been reading this since 2015 at least, when half of today's redditors were in grade school.
