Reply to comment by crimeo in New review finds that rocket emissions in the upper atmosphere can affect the ozone layer but are not regulated — Global annual launches grew from 90 to 190 in the past 5 years, and an upsurge in rocket launches may potentially undo decades of work to save the ozone layer by marketrent

They would have to be incredibly lucky and against almost all common sense that massive rooms of rock could get exhausted you know don't have a negative impact.

Typically when you mind chemicals on Earth and then Mass release them in almost any form it has a negative consequence.

Kind of like Earth is a big ball of unregulated chemical reaction and when you throw yet more non-naturally occurring chemicals into that biosphere of chemicals generally bad s*** happens.

Pattern has repeated so many times throughout human history that it's almost like you have to be in denial of science to come to that conclusion even without significant study.

The very least it's some massive wishful thinking to think that the rocket pollution is harmless enough just like humans thought CO2 was harmless enough or let it gasoline was harmless enough and looking back at it those were very dumb assumptions.

Why are you on a subreddit called /r/science if you don't think science is necessary, bro?
