I don’t think you really grasp how much pressure 10,000 psi is.

A typical car tire is like 35 psi

A propane tank for a grill is like 200 psi.

Have you ever seen a car tire burst? Or a propane tank? Big booms, they can easily hurt or kill people already.

A hydrogen tank would be 50 times more pressure than a regular tank of fuel, and 300 times more pressure than a tire. If those burst, people will die, and have their bits spread around the neighborhood.

An industrial machine designed to handle 10,000 psi gas is a little different from a tank you’d take to a BBQ.

A fuel station will also get resupplied regularly, so any small leaks are no big deal, as there will be a shipment of fresh fuel coming in a regular schedule. Your BBQ tank of hydrogen likely will need to be refilled regularly even if you don’t use it, as any valve that would be cheap enough to mass produce is not going to be able to keep hydrogen in for months while it sits in the garage.

Then there’s also the fact that most uses for gaseous hydrogen require the above 10,000 psi storage pressure. This allows a useful amount of hydrogen to be stored in a non-comically large container. 2 problems I see with this:

1.) a 10,000 psi container is fucking terrifying. If that things bangs into something and ruptures, it going to send shrapnel through a house.

2.) a propane like tank can be opened to the Atmosphere and does not have a regulator built into the tank because most people don’t know how to actually use a regulator. So a 10,000 psi tank with just a hand valve between the user and a jet of gas that can send the tank into the stratosphere does not sound like something that should be available at your local hardware store.

Hydrogen is very difficult to bottle. It tends to just slip out of anything you put it in because of how small the atoms are.

And also incredibly low density. So your bottle would likely be on a trailer.

Texas wants to bring it back.

Fuck Texas

Yeah but for a brief moment, you’d get some really cool pics for the ‘gram

Right now nothing is leaking.

The leaks are only present when the fuel system is open or ready to fire

It’s having problems with its RCS system

The thrusters that turn the craft around and allow precise movement aren’t working properly, they barely got the thing to dock with the ISS.

Despite what nasa says publicly, I’m sure there’s a lot of internal debate about if it’s even safe to undock the thing from the station. If it loses orientation control while still close to the ISS, it could easily damage the station and kill people. That’s if some of the damaged thrusters aren’t the ones that allow the craft to go backwards, kind of important if you want to leave the station.

The US navy has almost as many aircraft as all of Russia.

The US Army has more aircraft than all of Russia.

The US Airforce has more aircraft than the US navy and army.

That’s just planes and helicopters.

If you think any of the countries you talked about are a serious threat to the US outside of nuclear war, then you’re sorely mistaken about how truly insane US defense spending is.

There’s already enough nukes on hair triggers to destroy modern civilization several times over.

We don’t need more nukes, so it’s extremely concerning that countries are spending so much money on building more.

It’s important to remember that every single day, the world is about 30 minutes away from nuclear annihilation. And that in about an hour, every major city on the planet could be an irradiated wasteland.

‘pandemic is defined as “an epidemic occurring worldwide, or over a very wide area, crossing international boundaries and usually affecting a large number of people”’

From an article on the national institute of health, specifically about the definition of a pandemic. And how the old definition of it being a global disease that spreads rapidly may not be effective anymore with flu strains due to vaccines.

Is that you satan?

God, I hope it doesn’t spread, because then people will keep saying global pandemic.

Pandemic already means global.

It’s like saying Mariachi Band, or ATM Machine.

Implying they ever stopped.

You can’t think all of those private military contractors get all of their money from Uncle Sam.

Corporations have been using mercenaries for hundreds of years, they’ve just refined their PR departments lately.

Use it to extract more money from the indentured servants they conned into going.

You think Jeff bezos is gonna be putting up the solar panels?

You think the air in mars habitats is gonna be free?

That’s why they made it a pin.

Sure you can sell an app on the App Store, but most people won’t pay more than 5 bucks for an app, and even that’s stretching it. And the subscription market is already over saturated. So how do you make a boatload of cash? Sell overpriced hardware that needs to be “upgraded” every year or 2 to use new features, and include a subscription to use the thing in the first place.

They wanted to pull an Apple and lock people into their hardware ecosystem. I guarantee there was a plan for them to release an AI phone in the next 5 years if this thing did well.

What they missed is Apple products are generally pleasant to use on a daily basis. From what everyone said, this thing was hot garbage and slow to respond to queries.
