19. Physics not comparable to aviation/automotive engineering

No where in physics do you learn about the composition of fuels and their relationship to transportation. My engineer father because of his decades of engineering work experience well understood these realities. You still don't understand that you don't need fossil fuel to generate green hydrogen. Why do you think NASA is looking for water on the Moon and Mars? It's to be able to extract the hydrogen to make fuel to use for long distance interplanetary space travel. So sorry but you don't have the engineering work experience to know what fuel formulations are best for transportation. BTW, in addition to being dangerous as in 3 mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima, nuclear power isn't green because no one has figured out how to dispose of the toxic nuclear waste.
