You can just search for it. The general answer is that it is not good, and it's getting worse. The comparison to aviation, once again, is not really needed. Aviation is extremely polluting and damaging to the environment (not just poluttants but also disease and invasive seed spreading). There's nonquestion about that. But it isn't related to rocket launches anymore than other pollution. Here's a couple of articles. https://research.noaa.gov/2022/06/21/projected-increase-in-space-travel-may-damage-ozone-layer/ https://research.noaa.gov/2022/06/21/projected-increase-in-s... https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/09/science/rocket-pollution-spacex-satellites.html https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/09/science/rocket-pollution-... What's more, and this is touched some in the articles, deorbiting satellites so routinely is dumping toxic metals and plastics into the upper atmosphere at increasing rates. We're literally turning the atmosphere into a burn skyfill. > Not according to FAA when they issued license for SpaceX's launches at KSC The FAA is not an environmental or even scientific agency. Additionally, the FAA has revealed itself to be a captured regulator in several instances. There's no question that it is susceptible to political and monetary pressures.
