      15/ Gatekeeping? How so? Am I denying @Swordsfall1 access to my vast publishing empire? Keeping him out of the literary society I control? Calling up my agent friends and blacklisting him? Explain, please, how I'm "gatekeeping", @CappuccinoGuil https://twitter.com/CappuccinoGuil/status/1167430888440958976 …

      Replying to @MorlockP
      Hi there! Judging by your tone, you’ll take me seriously because I’m white. This attack on literally everyone telling you this thread is in poor taste, is childish. If you’re threatened by @Swordsfall1 maybe focus on upping your skills so this thread isn’t why we remember you.

      21/ > If you think it's anything but *Expensive* to launch trash into the sun, you dont understand science. I sort of do, tho. Earth orbits the sun at 29.78 km/s + ~ 1.8 km/s of deltaV for atmospheric drag = 31.6 km/s To achieve LEO is 7.8 k/s So > https://twitter.com/BurningBunring/status/1167434439682486272 …

      22/ So to handwave, a rocket that can put X into LEO can put X/4 into the sun. Falcon payload to LEO is 23,000 kg, so it can put ~6,000 kg of trash into the sun. Launch costs $57 million, so it costs $9,500 to put 1 kg of trash into the sun. I call that "expensive".

          Replying to @MorlockP @Swordsfall1 and

          You proved scientifically the validity of building a barge in orbit, like the space station, and brought up the already slapped down criticism of cost. Seeing why Swordsfall called you lot unoriginal.
