A single Starship launch produces motorcycle (100dB) to permanent hearing loss + immediate pain (140dB) sound out to about 7 miles.
Having that intermittently a couple times per day I think will be very disruptive.
- gen220 2mo agoTo be clear, I'm not trying to argue that this project is ecologically beneficial or neutral (I think that part is beyond debate for many reasons including the noise pollution you've identified) I was just trying to say that the marshland restoration stuff is likely not lip service, insofar as they actually do need wetland buffer zone to keep their launchpads above sea level.
- estearum 2mo agoWell yeah, but that is exactly the cynical lip service that I'm referring to. It's a useless statement for exactly the reason you mention.
