How bad is space travel for the climate?

Towering rockets blowing fire-breathing through the atmosphere with a trail of smoke and us in their wake. It looks very cool, but it can't possibly be good for the climate? In these years, more and more rockets are launched than ever before in human history. So how bad is it really for us down here when others fly around up there? Watch and learn more!

Der er ingen tvivl om , det kunne være spændene . At kunde komme ud i rummet . Men det er en dårlig ide at sende almindelige menesker ud i rummet . Det vil skade meget mere

Jeg tror IKKE på at du er født i år 210. Det er urealistisk, tror jeg.

@@evilpancake397 Jeg er HELT enig, jeg har nemlig aldrig set en mand på 1814 år

RETTELSE: Vi får i sagt, at flydende methan er et kulstoffrit brændstof. Det er selvfølgelig en fejl, da methan består af et kulstofatom forbundet til fire hydrogen/brint-atomer. Når flydende methan brændes af i atmosfæren frigives der altså foruden vanddamp og NOx-gasser også CO2. CORRECTION: In the video we say that liquid methane is a carbon-free fuel. That's an error! Methane consists of one carbon atom connected to four hydrogen atoms. Therefore when liquid methane is burned in the atmosphere, in addition to water vapor and NOx gases, CO2 is also released.
