>Start cheering on successes. Sure, when success stops being the environmental destruction of every area he sets up shop in for SpaceX launches. | ||

Yeah that’s just a fig leaf. I bet you can’t even name all the other places that have launch sites. | ||

Is it realistic to demand a spaceport with no environmental impact from anyone, SpaceX or not? Current launch technology inevitably produces a lot of heat and noise and we don't have any rocket model that wouldn't at least rarely fail (and explode). That said, extant Cape Canaveral does not seem to be lifeless. Lots of birds. IDK how the precise species composition has changed since 1960, but nature as a whole is a lot more resilient than people seem to think. | ||
