    Surely it’ll be powered by wood and have wooden circuitry and it’ll be super efficient to launch because they’ve figured out how to harness the power of wood popping as it burns. I can’t wait to see the wooden solar panels. Good thing there’s so much oxygen in space. This stuff doesn’t usually make it to the surface on reentry anyway, right?

    I wonder if this is a real article. I don’t want to read it, but I wonder.

      I’m not sure myself, but anyway that’s not the problem they’re trying to solve. Apparently the aluminum in normal satellites causes issues with the ozone layer.

        Thats the one problem we know of. We know very little about the effects of burning anything at high altitude, including wood.

      They found a stump near the launch site and strapped it to a rocket
