Pretty much everybody know that launch site and exclusion zones for human are great for wildlife. Turns out, what is destroying the environment is humans living in places, large areas with few humans usually do pretty well.
But instead of focusing on that, we need to test if dolphins get hearing damage from rockets.
> So that's the cost of progress
Its actually the benefit of progress. The cost of progress is having to close the beach and having to relocate a small village.
- oskarkk 1y agoIt's obvious that before SpaceX moved in, 6 permanent residents of that little village weren't damaging that environment more than today's thousands of people working on a huge industrial site built in place of that village (and now 500 people are actually living in Starbase). SpaceX activity in that area obviously has some environmental costs, like every other industrial activity or any human settlement. The cost of human progress. Btw, it was a seal[0][1], not a dolphin ;) [0] https://x.com/TalulahRiley/status/320421724644573184 https://x.com/TalulahRiley/status/320421724644573184 [1] https://x.com/TalulahRiley/status/320422298618302464 https://x.com/TalulahRiley/status/320422298618302464
