In the space tourism news has been lately. Russia rocket Board pays millions to shoot some wealthy sweet type universe, but is moving more mainstream than space travel. Now, barely in the semi-mainstream is moving. Built in the State of Richard Branson company Virgin Galactic space port New Mexico, now reserved for future passenger space flights months. It started commercial spaceflight, is still the seat of one of his $ 200,000.
However, it is now space tourism is not very green activities coming to light. Of course, so if you completely logical. You simply take a commercial flight to visit Grandma unless you pay the fine carbon credits after all to share all of your covering pollution generated by aficianados Jets Green chop bust. It through their own space rocket fuel to also launch environmental damage that stands to reason.
The rocket for launching aircraft in the space of the current generation of kerosene and liquid oxygen mixture burns. Not different from its fuel, in terms of CO2 jet plane release burn what. It is a 'hybrid' rocket engine development in economical. I would burn hydrocarbons with pure oxygen ignited by this new engine is nitrous oxide, rather. Injected into a mixture of different engine byproduct causes problems of low-carbon, carbon dioxide is significantly different emissions in the atmosphere: soot. Have been conducted to measure the effects of soot emissions, environmental simulation, conclusions of the first is not a positive thing. 1000, Based on the assumption of a commercial space flights per year in geophysical research letters report published projections are temperature increase in at about 1 °, polar ice 5-15% reduction is.
Not so fast. Research is also from the rocket soot actually Earth also 1.2 degrees Fahrenheit, simultaneously Antarctica 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit in the warming cool could I suggest. And frankly, how does not understand the behavior accurately, but apparently released model high stratospheric particle rain by not washing predicts a long time. Differential effect on poles and Equator, Equatorial Sun block causes outrageous accumulation of ozone in the polar regions is caused.
Considering the uncertainty in climate research model and I hope to change these conclusions. What is on the other hand, the future space travelers?
