Waiting for the SpaceX bros to tell everyone how this was actually a good thing because it was supposed to happen and means everything is going well.

As long as nobody was harmed they could blow up a hundred rockets for all I care. Maybe it'll even help with competition, like make other companies switch launch vehicles, so it might be a good thing (just not for them) lol

People live around there, so harm is definitely being done to the air they breathe and the environment they live in.

The people living there now are all employees. Basically Musk’s mining town

it is liquid oxygen and liquid methane deflagrating, the main result is water and CO2. not exactly harmful

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

but is it significant harm, compared to other things?

i mean, every company harms the environment somewhat. streets pollute the environment through their presence. oil refineries leak huge amounts of methane into the air. factories often produce toxic chemicals as by-products.
