I disagree. No price is small if it affects the environment.

Everything affects the environment. And saying "all prices are large" isn't helpful.

I think the Starship failure was a comical own-goal. But, in the end, we have to figure out what the cost of externalities like this actually are instead of hand-wringing.

Cars damage the environment. We should prevent recreational use and limit use to the purchase of food, shelter and clothing.

Also, cars hit animals and insects. We should lower car speed limits to 5mph.

Unironically, our city planning and lives would be much better if cars were limited to speeds of ~20 mph.
I rarely use car anyway.
You existing affects the environment.
