  How do we stop people from weaponizing environmental reviews.

    Maybe more transparency (always good) and a second order review system (history & reviews for 3rd parties to applications)

  This seems just anti-competitive.

  From the current r/space thread: “To sum up their filling it is basically: * Starship/Superheavy is huge and will likely mean far larger safety exclusion zones when launch/landing than with other current rockets. * The current launch pads at the Cape are too close together. * This would mean we’d not be able to work on our launch sites (and possibly other facilities) when Starship/Superheavy is operating (they have a factory at the Cape). * Starship/Superheavy are planning 44 launches a year, how are we going to get any work done ? * Please let us build some more launch sites a bit further apart Please limit the number of Starship/Superheavy launches until this happens. It very much isn’t “the environment is at risk, stop Starship/Superheavy from flying”. https://old.reddit.com/r/space/comments/1do8pn0/blue_origin_is_recommending_a_cap_to_starship/la804qp/ https://old.reddit.com/r/space/comments/1do8pn0/blue_origin_...

    Nobody would mind on this if BO didn’t ask for the most successful space company of our era to be limited because they are too successful.

  Jeff Bezos of all people worried about environment. Can't believe. Has to be a ulterior motive.
