SpaceX's Texas Rocket is Going To Cause A Lot More Damage Than Anyone Thinks

On Friday, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a license for SpaceX to launch the first orbital test of Starship, the largest rocket in human history, as soon as this Monday, April 17th.

@vivekgani @ESGHound Hmmmmm. this is very interesting. most people have been simply waiting in anticipation for the license approval/launch without realising what the effects could be.

But I guess there is nothing we can do but wait and see what happens, and if something goes wrong, hope people learn from their mistakes. or if nothing goes wrong, great! - we get a superheavy launch

“SpaceX operations have *already* decimated local and regional populations of protected bird species. And they want a fast-tracked approval to massively expand operations and infrastructure, while claiming insignificant changes from the 2014 EIS (that itself was inadequate)”
