I also took that away from this. It reads like an early primer for Rocket Protesting 101….

The “Party of Science” strikes again :-(

As if the amount of co2 coming from rockets even compares with other sources. There was a big stink about the 11 second test SpaceX did with the Falcon Heavy and people saw all the steam generated and assumed it was a death cloud and how dare SpaceX do that! Then you have the extremely toxic exhaust emissions coming from hydrolox engines (wink).

Orion314: You didn’t read carefully. This was the largest shockwave from a rocket launch.

Seems as though starfish prime and others would be a bigger bang ;) or How about Krakatoa, east of Java?
