We can move heavy industry to space and possibly even farming. That means we no longer pollute the one place we know has life and we allow farms to rewild. Earth can be saved this way.

Actually Artemis uses a combination of Oxygen and hydrogen, so the end result is..... Water. Similarly, SpaceX uses Methane and Oxygen which they will be making from CO2 and water. They need to start doing that asap and we should push for that rather than just complain about rockets in general. We need to shape future technology, not just try to stop it.
