Currently re-watching the #movie “The day after tomorrow” which was out already 20 years ago.

Damned, the context of the movie is still true today. It seems nothing has changed since 2004… the situation actually gets even worse than at that time.

“Next year, #SpaceX aims to average one launch every 2.5 days” source: https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/10/next-year-spacex-aims-to-average-one-launch-every-2-5-days/

We have clear evidence now of the impact of #rocket 🚀 launches on the #environment and the #atmosphere, together with the impact of #satellite 🛰️ entries. Still, #Musk wants to increase the frequency of #SpaceX launch next year !

At some point, it will be a crime.

I am pretty sure everyone have already seen an #image of the #Ring #Nebula, especially the one from the #Hubble #space #telescope (right below).

But have you seen the same #picture, from #JWST (left below) ?

Well, now you have 😉

There are so much more details, this is fantastic ! 🤩

@asmasca I haven't seen Avatar2 yet (tomorrow 😬) but clearly Avatar 1's take-home message is that we are not respecting nature. I guess it's the same for the second.

The problem is that those movies are too spectacular and people are just enjoying the nice footage without catching the message.
It was already difficult for people to understand the quite-clear message from Don't Look Up ...!
