I am just honestly confused. There seem to be no logical reason for it, except that it would raise the stock value of rocket producers like SpaceX and Blue Origin.

    Thanks for saving me the writeup. Probably would have taken me some research to find peer reviewed sources again but this is exactly what I have found in the past.

    Plus the engineers they rave about are the same ones incapable of building a new giant rocket with a launch capacity to orbit over the one banana threshold so that made me chuckle.

        Opens link, sees Scott Manley and realize we ain’t in peer reviewed territory by a long shot.

          This is a troll, they used chatGPT (which they called “Chad GPT”) to reply to me before. They don’t know shit, but it’s funny seeing them think they do. Read their user description, it’s so funny.

          You can’t even understand the Stefan-Boltzmann equation. Gotcha. Have a blissful day.
