Up until now, all of the space telescopes except for a few observing the sun have been in Earth orbit.
If I understand the mechanics correctly, this space telescope is also in an earth orbit. One that requires exactly one year for each orbit of the earth.
Fuggeddabout it - unless you're going to bring back Indian Point and then some, you'll spew more CO2 from the efficiency loss from Natural Gas -> Electricity -> Heat.
Let me fix that for you: Natural Gas > Electricity > Mini split Heat pump Now five time more thermally efficient. Maybe not in northern Alaska, but in NY
>the gas version of the plane can carry 11 passengers
This is not correct all Beavers carry 7 (6 plus pilot), it's an otter that will take 11. A beaver is a heavy duty STOL bush plane designed in'46. It is a long way from a slippery, efficient, light plane buillt with the latest composite construction. The fact they manage something like 160km is amazing.
