The Falcon 9 rocket runs on fossil fuels, namely highly refined
kerosene.

Each launch burns 29,600 gallons or 112,184 Kilograms.

The Dyna-Glo 23800-BTU Convection Indoor/Outdoor Kerosene Heater
burns approximately 4 gallons of kerosene per day to heat a space of
1000 square feet. 29,600/4 = 7400 days of burn time.

1000 square feet multiplied by 7 foot high ceilings will hold an
average of 560 pounds of air at 0.0807 pounds per cubic foot.

It take 0.24 BTU to raise one pound of air 1 degree F. Therefore 23800
BTU's/hour is capable of raising the temperature in a 1000 square foot
space with 7 foot high ceilings 10 degrees average at close to 0%
efficiency, for example, in a cabin with no window glass and door wide
open.

Heating degree days mean for Yellville, Arkansas is about 4127 over a
24 year sample. 4127/365.25 is about an average of 11.3 degrees/day.

Therefore the fuel consumed by Spacex's recent pleasure launch would
have provided heat for an entire year for a community of 20.26
hillbilly families living in the Ozarks.

Falcon 9s are reusable, so they can keep hundreds of hillbilly families
in the cold while keeping down manufacturing costs
