Space Origami
A couple of days ago the world was given the opportunity to watch the fourth test flight IFT4 of the Starship-Superheavy combo from SpaceX. This new super large space transport system has created quite a stir over the last couple…

They call it a pollutant. A “super greenhouse gas.” The devil’s own flatulence. But methane isn’t some demonic vapor rising from the pits of industrial sin — it’s the earth’s own perfume. A geological gift, not a biological accident. Forged beneath the crust, odorless, clean, and ready for duty.
Methane is the quiet workhorse of civilization. It burns without fanfare, leaves almost nothing behind, and thrives where other fuels fear to go — from the densest city grid to the most remote outpost. And when liquefied into LNG, it becomes the true heir to oil: mobile, dense, global.
This section reclaims the narrative. It’s not about emissions hysteria or policy games — it’s about restoring respect for the planet’s most elegant molecule. If there’s a future worth having, methane’s in it — not as a problem, but as a solution everyone’s too ideological to notice.
Fueling the skies
In the second blogpost of the space series, we have seen that methane is likely a dream come true for spacefarers. Because when it comes to fuel, two things are important. Easy and cheap production of a lot of it.…
With LNG to the stars
In 1768, the French author François-Marie Arouet, also known under the nom de plume Voltaire, composed a verse epistle. He addressed it to the anonymous author of The Three Impostors. Voltaire felt like he needed to reply to this virulently…
The problem with fueling rockets
The last few years have gotten us in touch with new, radical green groups that seem to seek mankind’s return to a pre-industrial state. Sometimes one would be forgiven to assume that some of those radicals want to expel humans…
Is the current oil market mayhem beneficial for shale
Wow, the last couple of weeks have been on the very wild side for any oil and gas person. Frankly, I know some old-timers in O&G and even they say that none of them has seen anything similar in about…
Terra Methanum – the methane machine
In early summer 2019, the scientific world was elated. They thought that they had found an unmistakable sign of life on Mars. The Mars rover Curiosity detected significant concentrations of methane in the atmosphere of the planet. Methane has always…
The wonderful world of methane 2
So, what will the new breed of methanopreneurs be hatching under their wings? Short answer – I don’t know. Yes folks, even I don’t know the future. Not even one second into the future. But even if we cannot predict…
The wonderful world of methane 1
Another year comes to a close. We all have a good hard look back at our past sins. Let’s not quite do that right now as it’s the now and the immediate tomorrow we should be concerned with. Because things…
LNG – The nature of the beast
The greatest enemy that any human ever faces lies within oneself. It seems to be the most fundamental of all human natures. Our shallowness. Our love for the simplified. Our fear of our true selves. Few persons ever face their…
Gas rails – the next level of LNG distribution
Who invented railways? Easy, you say. It was the Brits when the Industrial Revolution started to get into high gear. And it revolutionized land transport. For the first time, moving big and heavy objects was possible as a part of…
