One small area of Texas coast getting a little bit of damage from some flying concrete and a big explosion is absolutely nothing compared to what oil companies, cars and trucks, and a million other polluters do every single day all over the world.
And if the launch was trash, contributed nothing to the advancement of space travel, and wasn’t paving the way for new development, your comparison would be good.
But since none of those things are true, your comparison is dumb and meaningless.
I’ve seen a lot of people becoming anti-space just because they don’t like the crappy attitude of one guy in the industry. To that I say:
Fuck you. Fuck you so much you stupid, braindead fucks. You’ll condemn our species to stay on a single planet with your idiocy, and you’ll be clapping and drooling the whole way down.
I don’t give a shit if you hate Musk. He’s out of touch, spoiled, and doesn’t deserve even a quarter of the personal credit he gets. But leave space out of it. Not only do advances in space technology give back more to public than any other industry, it’s damn important work. No matter what happens, this planet has an expiration date, and we NEED to get off it.
I think you could use a break dude. Dont get so stirred up.
Im all for space exploration but doing preventable damage to the environment got us to the point that the one planet we are still “stuck on” slowly stops being habitable by us. There will be no space exploration if in 20 years we’ll all be running around fighting for scraps of food.
Also, you sound like that “one guy in the industry”.
This was obviously a mistake that cost them time and money, seeing as how their entire launch site was destroyed. Could they have been smarter? Perhaps. But given how many companies are actively malicious, I’m not too concerned at one that made an honest mistake.
Decades of rocket building says you need energy absorption systems and serious ones. Probably enough papers published on this topic to cover walls of my apartment.
Yeah, fuck the environment, right? Theres plenty of it everywhere else. /s

Correct.
One bottle in a river and a single use barbecue left in the forest are nothing compared to industrial waste. Thought 200000 people all at once

200000 people thought to create their own space agencies? Wow!

The article mentions deliberate decisions that caused more harm. But it was an “honest mistake” says the comments, so that’s ok.
How is it honest when they were informed by e Employees about the need to dampen the blast? It seems willful and reckless.
I’d imagine it’s more like every apartment in the building.
It was a stupid failure of engineering, but focusing on the enviromnetalism aspect of the explosion is not particularly rational.
