I don’t really celebrate any holidays or even my birthday. But if that rocket with bezos or musk or some other cunt goes up in flames, i make that a new tradition
My friends and I all do a shot on November 29th for a similar reason haha. I’d celebrate for the reasons you mentioned as well.
Fireworks in the name of the cunts
To be honest you gotta have somewhat fucked up situation if the only time you celebrate is when someone dies. that’s not a good flex but a cry for help
You’re right, it is a cry for help. Please someone kill off these billionaires so we don’t gotta celebrate rockets exploding.
Can’t you just like make a nice tasty BBQ, read a book on the fresh grass of spring listening to singing of birds
I don’t know about you but I prefer that kind of seasonal celebration. Isn’t it a bit tiring to constantly think about some distant bald guy?
¿Por qué no los dos?
Well because if you aren’t permanently online you usually focus on your life instead about some celebrities
“Go back to brunch”
If you are gonna starve yourself that certainly will show em
Celebrate what makes you happy, let others do the same.
So how do Oligarch boots taste? I’m asking because I have too much self-respect to ever find out for myself.
Is this oligarch boot in the room with us right now? Outside of internet nobody talks like this
Idk maybe you Americans are all just insane, it is an insane country. Asylum of a nation.
There is a deep hatred for America in my veins
Also just ignore the part where their carbon emissions just surpassed several countries yearly output combined with that one launch
I hate rich fucks as much as anybody, but this particular vehicle uses liquid hydrogen and oxygen for propellant, so no direct carbon emissions from the fuel.
The spacex superheavy is the biggest rocket stage around and has somewhere around 1.7 million kg of methane in it at launch. That results in about 4.7 million kg (4675t) of CO2 when it’s burned. That’s the same as the yearly emissions of 338 average americans, or 962 people at the global average.
Rockets are big, flashy and make a lot of smoke, but the numbers really don’t amount to much when compared to the sheer scale of more mundane economic activities.
I can guarantee that that hydrogen was not produced sustainably
To copy paste an earlier reply of mine:
I was talking about the direct emissions of launching a rocket. The indirect emissions are obviously vastly larger and might as well include everything in the wider economy that enables stuff like this. Just maintaining the necessary industrial capacity is already a huge strain on the planet. That’s what I’m after with these comments. The rich fucker joyride is a largely inconsequential yet overtly visible result of a bloated system hiding in plain sight. The aerospace sector as a whole is just the tip of the iceberg of a global industrial society in ecological overshoot.
That you for stating the obvious and completely missing the point.
“oh ye technically we didn’t cause extreme mass emissions just now”
is not an excuse for extreme mass emissions. Until someone figures out how to get sustainable hydrogen production to work for a scale useful for more than a few cars this is simply not a sustainable approach. And from what I understand, it likely won’t anytime soon
Sorry, I suppose I’m a bit too used to idiots going off about the smoke plume caused by the rocket carrying an Earth observation satellite or such. When there’s anything to be gained, the costs of the endeavour should be measured up to that. Here there’s no gain for anybody (unless one of those fuckers onboard has enough braincells to be able to appreciate the overview effect enough to affect their future behaviour for the better), so it’s a net negative no matter how much the cost for the planet is. My intent was not to excuse anything about this.
ergo “direct”
So each launch is 2x the faeroe islands annual CO2 output
Yes, the comment I replied to is technically right in that there are some tiny countries out there. Or they would be, if the rocket in question would’ve been a vastly larger rocket that burned a carbon containing fuel. The New Shepard tourist joyride is tiny for a rocket and its exhaust is water vapour.
Where did they get all the hydrogen? How did they make the rocket. While it may not emit much carbon on launch day, it will have taken a shit load to produce it.

Hydrogen is usually produced from natural gas with all the carbon being released as CO². So just the direct cost of making the fuel is already terrible.

So hydrogen creation is carbon neutral, didn’t know that! /s
Although I doubt it, hydrogen can be produced using renewables.
It’s still going to be significantly “greener” than using methane as a propellant, though.
At least there’s a chance it blows up and kills them.
I’m praying every day for it.
Must be super weird to play astronaut, knowing that more people hope that you go up in flames than you make it back alive.
I don’t mind sending billionaires to space. My issue is bringing them back to Earth.
These may be two of the ugliest people I’ve ever seen. Imagine being this rich and this ugly
Ugly by choice. I love it, it enables mocking.
Would you rather be forty and look forty, or be forty and look like a 25 year old lizard?

Im only poor and ugly
It’s okay, we like you, it’s rich people we don’t like
Good for him for not picking his new wife by her looks.
Well, I guess she did the same! Truly Christian people
all the while claiming it is peak feminism because some rich guy’s trophy wife went to space and most articles don’t even mention the two real scientist women on board.
Who is she and what is going on with her face?
Edit: is it Michael Jackson?
It’s funny because he’s so obviously and publicly going through mid-life crisis. He underwent this physical transformation by becoming this swole guy at the same time he divorced his normal wife to get with this plastic lady.
He’s one of the wealthiest men in the history of humanity but falls for the same crap a 50 year old used car dealer would. I love it.
I hate bezos with a passin, but he didn’t pick his new wife by looks. I hope.
Allergic reaction to space bees.
To shreds, you say?
and his wife?
We will never know. No helping lemming. And we are to lazy to search ourself. Well, no big deal I guess.
It’s obviously also photoshopped and staged.
Tax wealth, not work.
Wtf is going on with his bicep
Lizards actually don’t have biceps, that’s called a glusquai and Bezos’ is pretty standard for the species
He’s probably on human growth hormone and testosterone replacement therapy for “longevity”. Maybe he doesn’t workout enough though, so he won’t have the overdeveloped physique of typical anabolic abusers. Just the extra testosterone and hgh can cause muscle growth on their own, doesn’t mean you get huge all over though.
Always love a HIGNFY spotting in the wild, shame they still use twitter though.
Up the HIGNFY
