    Can we not legitimize these projects that will never fucking happen by reporting on them. I know the tech news places need clicks but this is not based in reality. My space tech proposal is that we all fart into jars and send the full jars to space-x for tax credits, where pure methane gas will produced. The rockets will have a pressurized 60KM long line attached to provide natural gas as a booster fuel, then detached to be caught an aircraft carrier. This will save big $$$.

      The fossil fuel (just like crude oil) was formed via natural processes, so it’s accurate.

      I get what you’re saying though. It makes it sound happy and safe to use.

        In case you’re unaware, that’s literally why they took to calling it that.

        Technically correct, easiest to market back when people were first starting to have doubts about setting stuff we found underground on fire.

        Using the word “natural” was very much a deliberate choice.

    Oh Jesus Christ.

    This guy is just-- Not one word this guy (You know who!) says is true.

    Nothing he’s ever said is true.

      We’ll turn this into the worlds biggest racquetball facility before Elon ever makes it to mars.
