>not simply greenwashed corporate nonsense
Isn't Musk the guy who crashed bitcoin after making a pile of money claiming it was dirty? How much pollution does just one of his mega-sized moon-mission rockets eject? Just for his personal (yes) entertainment.
Rich sportsmen buy expensive cars. Super- rich businessmen play with rocket launches.
- relativ575 5y agoAs the joke goes: "How to become millionaire in the airline industry? starting as billionaire". That speaks to the risky nature of airline business. Rocket business is even riskier. The market is small and is absurdly difficult to enter. Musk almost got bankrupted when Spacex failed to reach orbit after three tries in 2008. He went all in. Of the current crop of newly launched rocket companies -- Rocket Lab, Astra, Firefly, Relativity -- do you spot any super rich businessmen?

- z3ncyberpunk 5y agoAbout the same if not less pollution than every other rocket that's launched into space... For a fraction of the cost plus we get to reuse the materials.
