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.

They even ignored their own department’s procedure on responding to an active shooter, so they can’t argue it wasn’t in their duty to stop the shooter, or they didn’t know how.

There’s a shocking number of people who will just go off into the woods with their clothes and a phone.

I went hiking with a date once who expected to be fine walking a ten mile trail with no water bottle. Some people have no real world experience of how much water you need when you’re exerting yourself for hours on end.

No phones, no distractions, just a man living in the moment, getting stalked by a large cat just like his ancestors.

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.

I want a car. I want it to turn on, take me from point A to B, and maybe play some music or an audio book while I’m driving. It should tell me how fast I’m going, and how much further I can go before it needs to recharge or refuel. Give me a few buttons for basics like turning on the heat, AC, lights, and the windshield wipers.

That’s it. I just want an affordable car that can take me somewhere. None of these EV manufacturers are doing that. They all focus on software packages to set them apart from the rest, when if they just focused on making a usable, affordable car, they’d corner the market.

Let them fail until someone makes something that actually does what it’s supposed to.
