I just looked it up. [edit](An average rocket)[1] emits 300T of CO2 on the round-trip. That's the same as a 777 flying from NYC to LHR round-trip. Except there have been 18 Blue Origin launches and there's 85,000 annual round trips from NYC to LHR alone. It's certainly inefficient and not individually good for the planet, but it's a pricy luxury few can afford, and one that can be easily managed via carbon tax. Refusing to address the 85,000 annual round-trips on just the NYC-LHR corridor because one rich guy ran 18 launches with the same carbon footprint, I mean, I'm sure he's flown his private jet over the Atlantic more than 18 times. Remember, per person, the Blue Origin launch produces as much CO2 as 85 Bitcoin transactions.
