Belarus is a Russian ally. Current President Lukashenko, “Europe’s last dictator”, was “elected” in 1994.

I have no idea who you’re arguing with or what’s your point. But have a nice day.

Well that’s overcomplicating it quite a bit. Just look at the carbon-based molecules. Lump CO2 and CH4 together. Their ratio can be approximated as a constant over some time so who cares. Part if is from newly extracted fossil material, part of the lot is recycled. That’s it.

In terms of atmospheric carbon, it’s either newly brought up from underground petroleum, or it’s recycled from what’s already up here. If you care for volcanoes, you can add them as a third source.

Methane becomes CO2 which is absorbed by plants we eat to produce methane again. Recycling.

Methane cracking is good for the climate. Instead of burning methane and contribute to global warming, they crack methane to produce hydrogen and solid carbon for materials (construction, electronics and advanced materials). If i had my way, all natural gas would be cracked instead of burned. The less methane extracted the better, but still the best use for methane.

You never produced, you can only recycle.
New greenhouse gases are produced where they produce fertilizer for the foods you eat.

well, they train their AI with pro fossil propaganda as you see in forums like this. in fact, AI searches forums like this and makes summaries to answer questions you might ask it.

There are plenty of flights where 30 min in the air is enough. The general public seems to only consider trans ocean and regional flights but there are plenty of uses cases they don’t see.

People down here acting like $5 to keep 25,000 lbs in the air for 30 minutes is not a milestone worth announcing.
“Be perfect NOW” 🤣

That’s ridiculous. No one on final gives a crap about take-off weight. What you need is a ride in a glider or parachute. Learn to land on your ride’s minimal weight. Dropping stuff is only an extra measure if possible, not a necessity.

i also prefer electrified rails, but i’m fine with decarbonizing aviation where rails aren’t feasible. rail construction has thresholds to meet in terms of travel density, frequency, and ground conditions.

Why would you leave behind a perfectly nice airstrip when your goal is testing a new aircraft? One step at a time, Speedy. Aircraft distance depends on altitude and winds. Not the goal of this flight to break this kind of record. Easier things like time come first. Only then can they calculate how far they can go. Aircrafts can’t park on the shoulder like your 2D vehicles do.

$5 for 30 minutes in the air. pick any speed you want. it doesn’t matter. avgas and jet fuel don’t compete with $5.
