606024=86400*3=259.2 mtons of hydrogen and meh im too nonsober to type that into a calculator twice so 5ish mtons of hehe? TBH I hedged my bets in the prefix to tons above, but this is an order of magnitude more than I figured. And with that ratio I’m sure hydrogen and helium are 99.999999% of that mass too.
The universe is an engine that converts hydrogen to helium, and we are the pollutants caused by the imperfections of the engine. All hail nuclear fusion, for it is light. Let it burn bright, for the ratio of fuel to exhaust is already 3:1, and one cannot bring back the purity of hydrogen once it is spent. Live for the dying of the light!
About 3kg/s of hydrogen and 50g/s of helium

I love this and will be stealing it! Really puts Sagan’s “we are all made of stardust” in quite a different context 🤣
