Heads up: Nova launcher got sold out to a shady company - Branch Analytics.

That's not entirely true: sacrificial anodes attract and collect calcium and magnesium as well as preventing rust.

Light is also not "stuff" - it's electromagnetic radiation. It's by the unprivileged intertial frame of reference that we define the speed of light. Light's speed is the speed at which it travels unimpeded through the spacetime "field". Additionally light does not accelerate or change speed in any way while traveling in that frame.

Unless you're asking if light travels through things that are not the field known as the spacetime continuum in which case yes: light travels (and changes speed) through all sorts of materials. Like glass.

Honestly for a multinational corp operating at the scale they operate that's a pretty good report card. They look like boy scouts compared with Nestle, Coca cola etc

No mention of paying for death squads, no forced child slavery ...

Doesn't mean you shouldn't boycott, just that there's a sliding scale and if you have to choose a Nestle product or a Unilever one is less evil.

Space isn't a medium because mediums have privileged frames of reference.

You're talking about spacetime which is a field, not a medium.

Climate disasters are not affecting the world equally everywhere. Hurricanes are far and away the most destructive climate related disaster and they disproportionately affect Florida of all US states

Florida is uninsurable, that's kinda the issue.

There's a reason so many big insurance companies have left Florida. And honestly I don't really want even more Federal money going to rebuild in the most common path of ever rising hurricane intensity.

I want Federal funds set aside to move people out of Florida in homes elsewhere for those who want it. If you want to rebuild your house in the path of the hurricane you can do it on your own dime.

See also: model collapse

(Which is more or less just regression towards the mean with more steps)

You can get comparable isp with methalox engines without any of the weight required to keep the hydrogen inside the rocket, right?
