This is an extremely editorialized title.
The thread is about a law firm that got a un resolution passed to ban the use of mercury as a satellite propellant, on the basis of a company that used it in their thrusters, that was in the process of selling the tech to spacex.
What it doesn’t say:
* whether spacex bought it or not
* whether spacex ever used it or not
* whether spacex still plans to use it or not
… and if I’m reading it right, it sounds like the resolution was passed, which ought to mean that spacex doesn’t plan to use it, because that’d be a violation of un treaty.
