Comment on SpaceX's Starship blows up ahead of 10th test flight
real_squids@sopuli.xyz 5 days agoAs long as nobody was harmed they could blow up a hundred rockets for all I care. Maybe it’ll even help with competition, like make other companies switch launch vehicles

People live around there, so harm is definitely being done to the air they breathe and the environment they live in.

it is liquid oxygen and liquid methane deflagrating, the main result is water and CO2. not exactly harmful

The people living there now are all employees. Basically Musk’s mining town

but is it significant harm, compared to other things?
i mean, every company harms the environment somewhat. streets pollute the environment through their presence. oil refineries leak huge amounts of methane into the air. factories often produce toxic chemicals as by-products.
