@bigbadassjohnson: Not that it is a problem, but the LOX/LH burning is done by the main engines (the ones that start at about t-6 and use the big orange tank). The two booster rockets burn aluminum with ammonium perchlorate; that causes most of the visible smoke (a trail of sapphires!) that doesn't evaporate.
Space Shuttle exhaust doesn't cause global warming. Volcanos have spewed more crap in the air more than the 150+ shuttle launches ever could have... "yeah, and they wonder where global warming comes from" What a dork!
The main rocket fuel is LOX, burning oxygen and hydrogen = water. No pollution, period.
Amazing, isn't it. If you guys would just READ alittle first, you wouldn't be sitting around calling each other 'moron' or 'retard'.
My personal favorite; 'fucktard'.
What 13 yr/old came up with that ?
Anyway, I'm just saying.

mcs895, mostly from volcanos and solar flares. The space shuttle is an ant when compared to mother nature.

what does that have to do with the exaust?

Global warming isn't even the correct term moron, it's "climate change".
And people still aren't even sure what is causing it, it could simply be one of the Earth's cycles that it goes through.

no one is talking about climate change we are talking global warming

That statement has just shown how much lack of knowledge of the subject you have.

Me? No, I am not. Why do you ask? Is there something wrong with being homosexual?
And I wasn't exactly arguing either.
