    And in sure 150 launches in a year is not contributed in any way to global warming…

    Especially that startship… Right?

    The problem is all with us, and that salad dressing container we threw out instead of recycling …or those plastic bags . Right?

    How are we not taxing them more? This Is unnecessary and no wonder the planet is heating up.

    150 rocket launches must make a material difference!

      Probably not as much as we assume. Space related emissions are 1% of the aviation industry. Also, we just discovered ocean trawling and dredging is the equivalent to the entire aviation industry…

      There just is a lot that needs to be done before even worrying about space launch emissions.
