So I was in a discussion semi-recently and someone (I think it was PhantomLink) brought up the fact that dust loses its potentcy after leaving the atmosphere, therefore making space travel impossible. This made me wonder who Remnant hasn't begun developing non-dust technology and fuels. Dust seems perfect for every-day applications, sure, but it is quite limited in other fields of technology. For example, we know that Remnant produces corn (we see popcorn) and almost certainly has microbes (aside from grimm and the faunus we haven't seen any really abnormal creatures, and the faunus are probably just mutated humans or a close relative), so ethanol production doesn't seem impossible. I dunno, but dust just seems really inefficient for certain applications, and maybe Remnant really needs some diversity that we are beginning to see in the real world. Please, let me know your thoughts people; I wholeheartedly support feedback and constructive criticism!
