Sure. But it looks goofy. Which is the point.

To whom? To rocket nerds - the audience he was gunning for - it was 100% engineering badassery. It also generated worldwide interest into a test launch and got millions of views - 2.3 million to be exact, making it the 2nd most watched launch even in history.

If your government takes climate change seriously, and a non-trivial contributor to climate change is livestock emissions, then it's not a waste to go out and conduct research on the scale and degree of livestock emissions. But if you are paying taxpayer dollars to measure cow farts, people will call it pork and nonsense.

Maybe because cow fart studies *are* bogus. Do you really want to solve "global warming"? If the answer is yes then cows are miles down the list.

Care to guess where you'd start? If someone was really serious about it? You'd ground air travel worldwide for 2 days a week.

You might say, "But that's crazy. You'd paralyze a lot of the world economy as well as make movement about the global restricted!". But how cray-cray is that compared with significantly altering the fundamental protein intake of billions of people?

Food for thought.
