    How much fuel does Starship use?

    At liftoff, the two Solid Rocket Boosters consume 11,000 pounds of fuel per second. That's two million times the rate at which fuel is burned by the average family car. The twin Solid Rocket Boosters generate a combined thrust of 5.3 million pounds.

    What is the environmental impact of liquid methane?

    Methane has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide over the first 20 years after it reaches the atmosphere. Even though CO2 has a longer-lasting effect, methane sets the pace for warming in the near term.


    I just find it funny when they try to ban combustion vehicles saying how much of an impact to the environment they make and then they do stuff like this. You want to impress me with your EV crap, build an EV rocket.

    Not when selling any amount of electric right now, even if just one is a “win” for the gubment.
