Aside from the small quantity taken to space how do you arrive at this?

As you metion, International Space Station. Although they recycle every single drop of moisture, they were recently topped up with twenty-nine litres.

A drop in the ocean compared to the amount that is lost into space from the top of the atmosphere! But then there is probably still some arriving as chondrites - I have no idea how the balance between these is.

There is none lost (aside from what’s taken by Space craft).

Aside from that, none (measurable) is lost or gained.

Well, we do learn something every day . Never heard of Chondrites, looked it up. Thanks, JD , just made my day.

Chondrite

Chondrites are stony (non-metallic) meteorites that have not been modified due to melting or differentiation of the parent body. They are formed when various types of dust and small grains that were present in the early solar system accreted to form primitive asteroids. They are the most common type of meteorite that falls to Earth with estimates for the proportion of the total fall that they represent varying between 85.7% and 86.2%.

Just saw the same older lady with the 'OK Soyboy' shirt on walking with her husband(?) and he had an 'OK Snowflake' shirt on. Was driving so couldn't stop. Would have been a great photo!

I seem to recall a T-shirt shop at one end of the main drag in Fremantle. Might have to pay it a visit and see if that is where they bought their shirts from!

My favourite T-shirt is the one that says "I'm with stupid" with the arrow pointing straight up at the wearer.

Some boomers are doing it tough.
