^^ a drone one could sit in, wouldn’t that be considered an aircraft?

^^looks like a deathtrap to me...

It absolutely is a death trap. My quads spinning 10" props are death traps.  I nearly took Sheriff Freitag's head off with one. We were flying in his back yard, I took off fast, and it shot back at about 45 degrees,  luckily he had fast enough reflexes to get his head down.

used to have a guy fly over us putting on one man daredevil show in one of those old gyrocopters at a place lived

the fabrication of that thing appeared to be quite austere. ..  to say the very least. . . was like deck-frame boards in a triangle for the base of it

the pilot would be like just barely over the power lines

everyone kind of always thought he was going to crash or something at some point

I always wanted an ultralight then realized I don't like heights, or crashing in what seems to be the flying equivalent of a 1970's camping tent.

^^Open pit copper mines are nasty business...they have to process the rock with chemical and there's polluted water that has to be retained....that stuff will be seeping into the aquifer. Even these nasty pits and tailing piles when it rains where do you think that rain water goes, right through the pile of polluted tailing and into the ground water!

When they abandon these pits they'll fill up with acidic groundwater with high concentrations of hazardous heavy metals!

Rather then having a scenic North Shore we'll have a Super Fund Site..check out Butte, Montana..

There's some large open pit copper mines in Arizona, there are Videos on YouTube of the operation, take a look at the mess, the holding ponds...Nasty

Keep this type of mining in dry arid places not some place that's green and it rains regularly or we'll have a mess!

Don't mess up our drinking water for a Foreign Company's profits....

^^ state of the art underground mine and processing, no excuse for deniaing it.
Most of the locals up there want it.

^^nah, they're going open pit, 700 foot deep hole..take the time to look at Arizona's open pit mines...

PolyMet’s $1 billion NorthMet polymetallic open pit mine in Minnesota

The NorthMet deposit will be mined by open pit methods to a depth of approximately 700 ft below surface. It is also reusing existing infrastructure of the former LTV Steel taconite processing site. It is expected to produce up to 57.7 Mlbs of copper, 8.7 Mlbs of nickel, 311,000 lbs of cobalt, 14,000 oz of platinum, 59,000 oz of palladium, 4,000 oz of gold and 48,000 oz of silver annually over an estimated mine life of 20 years.


This has an aquifer killer smell about it.....IMO

^^ you need to visit Mine View park in Hibbing then.
Posted by Expatriate on May 13 2022,4:12 pm
^^ Taconite processing is more running the ore through a pulverizer, magnetic separator, etc etc....making taconite pellets... and we taxpayers are still cleaning up their mess...

When you start talking copper, nickle, cobalt, platinum, palladium, gold and silver, you're talking some extremely hazardous processing, tailings and waste water pollution...

Estimated mine life of 20 years, then the taxpayer is left with another Super Fund Site....Polymet isn't even an American Company, you can bet they'll leave their mess and skedaddle...
