They launch rockets at a scale they are not legally allowed to, adjacent to multiple wild life reserves home to many critically endangered species, and this is not close to the first time they've burned down the wildlife. Turtles and cats are a bigger concern to than the crabs imho.
Side note, and not that it matters much to this topic, but whether someone thinks Martian colonization is plausible or not seems to be a decent litmus test to their reasonability in general.

- martianist 3y agoIt's obviously not possible with existing technology but future developments in biotechnology might lead to breakthroughs in terraforming planets like Mars for human habitation. In any event, fewer rockets is not going to prevent the 6th mass extinction. The biosphere is degrading and fossil fuel consumption is still going up because the economists have decided that higher GDP is better than a habitable planet. Musk is a favorite scapegoat but he is not the problem. Modern civilization is toxic and will continue to generate toxic byproducts as long as the human population is increasing.
