Why NASA’s Artemis Has Fuel-Leak Problems That SpaceX Doesn’t | WSJ

235 808 vues 13 sept. 2022

NASA’s Artemis I launch has been delayed twice because of problems with their main fuel: liquid hydrogen. It’s not a new one for the space agency. As NASA described it, “hydrogen is difficult to work with.”

Meanwhile, SpaceX has switched to methane for their Mars-bound Starship spacecraft.

WSJ explains why NASA still uses the leak-prone fuel.

Announcing, for the first time, a “tornado alarm” what will alert you 24/7 when the NWS determines you are in the direct path of a tornado or winds of 80+mph.

Unlike apps and weather radios, this will only awaken you for a truly dangerous situation. No shrieking alarms at 2am for 1″ hail.

I’m forever grateful that renewables are enabling cheap energy for all of us.

“Decarbonizing the energy system by 2050 could save trillions”
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/09/220913110431.htm

Transitioning to a decarbonised energy system by around 2050 is expected to save the world at least $12 trillion, compared to continuing our current levels of fossil fuel use, according to a peer-reviewed study by Oxford University researchers, published in the journal Joule today.

total nonsense, of course

It would be nice if there were a software repository somewhere, like a GitHub for WUWT, where we could drop off bits of s/w we’ve written that people might want to play with. I don’t know much about those things at all, but the idea just popped into my head.
