If that had been an oil tanker, there would be international outcry about polluting the ocean. But itās a rocket, and itās not full of oil - itās full of hydrazine - which is thousands of times more toxic than oil.

According to their specs they use LOX-Propane for propellant, a far, far cry from hydrazine. Iād expect pretty much all the propane to combust in the explosionā¦

Most of my life Iāve had an interest in electronics and computers. I still tinker, and build circuits, which is a handy pastime, given my now-reduced mobility.
This led me to the realisation that weāre reaching a kind of anniversary. Itās almost exactly a hundred years ago that the modern technological world began. Before the mid-1920s, there was no sound radio, there was no stage amplification, and movies were silent. Records existed, but the sound quality was dreadful, and barely audible. The greatest skill an actor or singer could have was not charcterisation or tunefulness - it was VOLUME. They had to be heard at the back of the theatre, above the noise of the crowd.
The mid-1920s saw the birth of consumer electronics, without which TVs, computers, and mobile phones would never have happened.
Only a hundred years ago, the world was an almost unimaginably different place.

Note that while āstrongest evidence yetā might not as such be entirely inaccurate, the evidence is by no means āstrongā.

I powered up my older BIG monitor just to soak these up. They are trully awe inspiring structures.
Iād greatly enjoy a VR set & reclining lounge to just āfloatā in this ambience.

Didnāt NASA used to give away the high-res versions of their pictures for free - or at least under very relaxed copyright conditions?
That said, I donāt know that NASA actually owns the James Webb pictures - but itās worth a try. If you have a big enough picture, there are online photo printing services that will make you an A1 size print for 15 or 20 dollars. Iāve done it with both 35mm negatives and my own digital photographs.
