Join the sustainable swrm
We’ve previously discussed the minimal footprint of space programs when comparing them to other carbon emission-intensive sectors, but still, space exploration has never been considered sustainable. So why is NASA still looking to the stars when Earth is at a tipping point?

One concept which confounds many people in discussions around climate change and global warning, is that a rise of 1.5°C could be significant. I’ve never known a single day in my life where there’s not been greater variation than that, let alone then talking about seasonal variations in temperatures. So it’s no wonder that an average increase of a paltry 1.5°C leading to disaster is a difficult concept to come to grips with. Let’s explore how much it could really mean.

Greenhouse gases are continuing to concentrate at an unprecedented rate in our atmosphere. The main culprits are carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane. By volume, CO2 is the most common greenhouse gas in our atmosphere, accounting for over

Lexi ventures into the stars to find out the future of sustainable space travel. It has been 50 years since man stepped foot on the moon and we take a look into the carbon footprint for a rocket launch. Will long term space travel be viable?

Last week we were asked about the future of Space Travel. More specifically, how sustainable are long-term space flights. Each launch requires an enormous amount of propellant to create the thrust for the large payload, and current
