I’m wondering how much CO2 gets into the atmosphere by one rocket launch?
And how much harm SpaceX has already done to our planet with thousands of launches that’s sole benefit is insane amount of surveillance satelites…?🤔
One Falcon rocket launch produces roughly the same emissions as 400 trans Atlantic flights or 73 cars with average driving for a year.
So still only a fraction of aviation/automotive emissions.
