Electrolysis is overall the cleanest way to make hydrogen but I understand this kind of green hydrogen is very expensive.

Sounds silly to even say it, but remember the Asiana 214 crash at SFO in 2013? I recall that came down to the captain lacking the airmanship to land the aircraft manually. At the time it was said he might have been unable to fly a Cessna. Surely aircrew need to be more than just system operators of largely automated machines that just happen to fly?

I believe I may have flown on this plane when she toured the country in the 90s. She was a truly beautiful aircraft and a piece of flying history.

Anything but a laughing matter! The Ukrainians have fought remarkably well and suffered unspeakably in this war, but ordinary Russians are also captives of Putin's imperial fantasies. Such a tragedy.

I guess I did not put it well. Sorry.

Perhaps you missed my sarcastic tone? This will be aimed at impressing folks who get their news beck home from state-controlled Russian TV. Younger Russians with more diverse sources and VPNs will know better.

Russia is in serious financial straits right now. This could be a silly fit if pique designed to hide the fact they can no longer afford to be part of the ISS. If carried out it could spell of the end on an historic space program. There are now private alternatives anyway.

From what I've seen of Russian vloggers and street interviews, for the most part the Russian people suspect their government is lying to them. Thing is, they dare no say to too widely for fear of being charged with uttering 'Fake News.

Just wait until the Monday victory celebration of the defeat of the Ukraine Nazis on the May 9 anniversary of the Soviet defeat of the real ones.

You can't be serious. Ukraine was living in peace and offering no threat to Russia beyond their democracy, such as it was, put real power in the ballot box and offered a better standard of living for the average Ukrainian than the average Russian. Even more than the Russian people, they are a victim of Putin's imperial fantasies. The loss of the An-225 was inexcusable.
