It depends on the location of said empty space.

In normal space, sound cannot travel, as it requires a medium.

If the empty space is between your ears, the sound travels at the speed of stupid.

Do you help answer questions or just complain?

No, the quality of the education has plummeted because of budget cuts and lack of proper compensation for the teachers with the necessary understanding to teach that class and still make rent/bill payments.

A good science teacher can change an entire generation with the scholars they produce and inspire. But not at 38k a year for a four year degree and vetted license process.

Don't shame people for asking questions (though, this is maybe not the best place for it)

This is it. This is all you need to know

If its a truly empty space (a perfect vacuum), sound cannot travel at all. Sound is nothing more than a wave of molecules bouncing into eachother. No molecules, no sound.

Do highschool science classes not exist anymore?

It depends on where in space you are located. In empty space, no sounds since no medium to travel through. In gas nebulas or galaxy clusters it is possible for sound to travel though them but it isn't something humans can hear without technological assistance.

It can't travel, there isn't a medium for sound waves to permeate through in the absence of "stuff".

Sound requires a medium. QED in a vacuum, sound cannot travel

Are you talking about the silly claim that AOC made, which was completely debunked, which even the NYT took her to task for? Cause that’s the only thing I can think you are talking about and three seconds on google will show you why it’s BS.

The U.S. government never paid anything for Starlink Service in Ukraine.

They paid for a few dishes, but even on those dishes SpaceX has paid for service for a year now. They are losing money on those, they could have gone to paying customers.

And I wasn't even talking about that. I was talking about development costs. But thanks for bringing that up, it's yet another instance of SpaceX helping the U.S. without adequate compensation.

As for a potential Taiwan invasion I suggest you search Google for recent news on the subject. I assure you the military does not consider this possibility to be insane. Heck, people thought the idea of Russia attacking Ukraine was insane.

Spending the money doesn't count as losing it, but being unable to account for it definitely does. They didn't "just" lose that amount, but over the last decade or so at least that much defense money has just vanished into the aether without anyone being able to tell where it went.

To be fair that actually provided some kind of tangible benefit somewhere, which maintaining a couple hundred Liberty ships just in case the world suddenly needs a lot of 80-year-old cargo ships on short notice does not.

The US is absolutely not going to war with China and neither is Taiwan, this is insane. And spacex was paid by the government to roll out starlink in Ukraine, which musk threatened to shut down.

The same amount as the Army spent on air conditioning in Afghanistan.
