Since we couldn’t stop capitalism, it’s time for last chance science.

It’s a race between capitalism destroying us and science saving us

There are countries that rank higher on the “pure capitalism” scale that are making huge moves to sustainability. Sweden for example. Greed is killing us not economic structures.

I get that it's a braking system but how does this help in forest fires? The article is pretty vague on that (or I'm dumb)

The heat shielding material developed for LOFTID, in fact, has already been used to build a prototype heat shelter to help tackle forest fires. NASA has worked with the U.S. Forest Service's Missoula Technology and Development Center (MTDC) to develop more effective fire shelters to save lives, meaning their heat-resistant material could save human beings in space and on Earth.

Did you just copy a paragraph from the article in answer to "the article is pretty vague"?

It's a tent-like thing for when you don't have a way to retreat (very common with wild fire, fire can change direction very quick and encircle firefighter unexpectedly). In that case you can just hunker down and wait for rescues.
