Id join you in chuckling but I’ll never forget the feeling of election night 2016 when every poll has trump losing and Dems had broken their arms patting each other on the back and had spent the cycle scoring Trump and his voter’s chances. Anything is possible when half of people don’t vote, and even those who want to have to face a gauntlet of deliberate obstacles.
Clickbait headline. Lots of chemicals are in rocket fuel, and it doesn’t automatically make that chemical dangerous.
The article calls the chemical perchlorate, which is actually a class of chemical, not a single compound. Potassium Perchlorate is used as a thyroid medication…
The article also says this:
Most drinking water contamination comes from the manufacture, disposal and research of propellants, explosives and pyrotechnics, along with accidental releases from factories and rocket launch failures, according to the National Institutes of Health’s Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.
Which is actually bullshit, perchlorates are not the leading cause of drinking water contamination. I suspect the person who wrote this means “most [perchlorate] contamination”, but I’m not finding any evidence that this is true either; just that pyrotechnics and rockets are responsible for releasing perchlorates into the environment, and that raises perchlorate levels in key areas like west Texas, New Mexico, and northern Chile.
Oh boy more fear mongering! You know what else is in ticket fuel? Oxygen. You know what else oxygen is in? Air! And water! Better stop breathing and drinking.
Ban it and all bots honestly. I hate seeing a comment on a thread just to find out it’s a bot. If not use like this continues we might see a fresh post with 6 new comments, all of them bots that don’t add to the discussion.
Perchlorate is used in Solid rocket fuel, not liquid rocket fuel. Think Space Shuttle side boosters, not Space Shuttle main engines. So rocket companies like Rocket Lab, SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Firefly are all pure liquid rockets. Rockets that use solid rocket fuel (usually as strap on boosters) includ ULA’s Atlas V and Vulcan rocket, Northrop’s Pegasus and Minotaur, Arianespace Vega and Ariane 6, JAXA’s HII and HIII, India’s PSLV and GSLV, and China’s Long March 11.
This section of the article is basically the TLDR:
armed with a high-powered projector, booked themselves a room across the street from Trump Tower to display the message “Trump-Vance: Out For Themselves” — along with other slogans intended to rankle, rile, and otherwise irritate the candidate — across his 92-story building’s gleaming glass facade.
The slogans “Trump-Vance: ‘Weird as Hell,’” “Harris-Walz: Fighting for You,” and “Project 2025 HQ” are also in rotation.
You can identify as whatever you want, but your right to do that stops dead at my right to address you as i see you. Beard and long hair and a dress? Sir/He. Breasts? Ma’am/She. I cant believe this is even a discussion. Your delusion is not my problem or responsibility.
