It makes more sense to electrify 500 cars and switch electric production to clean energy rather than banning SpaceX Falcon Heavy. Because China electrifies cars and is developing competing rockets for space supremacy.

I think it makes more sense to solve pollution with systemic solutions rather than play a blame game. Just tax private jet usage and use that money to decarbonize or something.

No issues with space flight or falcon heavy specifically. My gripe is with oil and large interests campaigning against my "personal carbon footprint" while themselves polluting more than any of us can comprehend
SpaceX is not an oil company. Neither is Tesla.
>My gripe is with oil and large interests

Both have massive lobbies and large government contracts making them large interests. Both also pollute heavily
