SpaceX seems to have caught the ire of the ESG czars [1] who have put out their hounds to go get 'm. Jolly good sports, sure, just like chasing the fox over the hedges like they did in days of yore but rather tiring in seeing how potentially valid concerns about potential environmental damage are being abused by these self-proclaimed masters of the universe to make their will be done no matter what the law of the land may say. Is this thing going to be loud? You bet it is, just like the Space Shuttle before it, like Ariane 5, like the Saturn V and especially like the Soviet N1 which must have been the loudest of them all. Would I want them to launch it in my backyard? No, that'd be rather unpleasant now wouldn't it? Luckily they found some mud flats in Boca Chica where they can make a lot of noise without it being all too much of a bother. Sure, they'll scare the bejeezus out of the local duck population but so did all its predecessors which does not seem to have led to the Great Duck Exodus of 1969 from Cape Kennedy (now Canavaral) or Kourou. So I say "straighten up and fly right" to the folks of SpaceX, plug your ears to the local ducks and find yourself a more worthy cause to the ESG knight in mossy armour who seems to have been on a vendetta against SpaceX for the last few years. To infinity and beyond!
