You've got to wonder how many times per day nearly identical "environmental impacts" are occurring due to mundane causes such as the use of explosives in mining, building demolations, or whatever.

This is a bunch of attention seekers latching on to a famous company like leeches.

For real. I am pro environment, so I do think there is some legitimate amount of environmental impact studies that should be done. But it is clear there is some emotional/ideological agenda attached to anything associated with Musk, now the SpaceX launch is just the target of the moment. The industries threatened by innovation hire PR who prey on easily emotionally swayed individuals, and the result is a flood of parroted opinions and hit-pieces propagated all over the internet.
