That's a fair amount of greenhouse gas emitted... for nothing.

Methane is a byproduct of oil extraction in many places, and two years ago the law in the US stipulating that the methane must be recovered was rescinded. I don't know why the EPA did that, methane is a potent greenhouse gas. So what is actually happening, these Starships are burning the methane into CO2, which is a far less potent greenhouse gas than is methane.
