It was very much a "hello fellow kids" type vibe for me. He was desperately trying to make it hip to be square. I found it utterly unwatchable and only made it through half of the second episode. I appreciated the attempt but the result was embarrassing.

It was coined by a trumpet and it just irks me.

"nothing burger" is mine.

At shut off and start up the rocket pumps methane and oxygen into the atmosphere before ignition. The Falcon 9 pumps kerosene and oxygen. Watch the live streams and look at the engines at meco.

The pumps need to be running full bore before ignition and keep running after cut off. Watch a video of shut off and tell me where they're keeping all that CO^2 and water on the rocket.

Do you know what the clouds coming out of the engines at shut down and start up are? Methane and oxygen. Do you think injecting methane into the upper atmosphere does the earth any favours?

If that kind of shit gets released on the ground, what gets released into the upper atmosphere?

White vinegar.

They're Americans.

Theres nothing to ignite unless the pumps are running full speed. The pumps keep running after after the fire goes out. What are those pumps pumping?

Falcon 9 uses kerosene.

At engine cut off and start up those big clouds coming out of the engines are propellant. The pumps need priming and they don't ignite right away or stop immediately after cut off. And what do you think they mean when they say "venting"?

Remember when Elon wanted to do transpirational cooling? What do you think they were going to "sweat"?

I love that "drop in the bucket" justification. In the 1900's car exhaust was a huge innovation because it did away with the mountains of horse shit produced by carriages.

Do you know what those clouds are that come out of the engine at cut off and start up are? Not water vapour or carbon dioxide.

So we're starting to look at aluminum debris in the upper atmosphere, when are we going to look at carbon fibre debris? Or rocket fuel in the upper atmosphere? We dont know what any of that shit does. Im going to hazard a guess that it does nothing good.

If you were to light ten thousand Starlink satellites on fire in a bonfire on the ground people would put you in jail. When it happens in the upper atmosphere its called progress.

Right on. The "cooling effect" will hopefully offset all the kerosene and methane they're injecting into the upper atmosphere and oceans.

My daughter's 8th grade French teacher was the writer of one. I felt brushed by fame.

NUH-UH is lemmys catch phrase.

I don't mean to be memey, but personally I find the "hive mind" here to be way more homogeneous than on reddit. Unless you count different engineering fields as different viewpoints. There are way fewer creatives and trades here. And the engineery types like to pile on to any point of view that doesn't match their world view.

Odds are high this kid was an insufferable little puke.
