Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket tests in Texas are emitting so much methane you can see it from space::So much you can see it from the ISS in space.
When burned, methane produces water and carbon dioxide, which are less harmful to the environment. The issue here is not with rocket testing, but with improper storage of methane
It’s embarrassing because it sounds that all blue origin had to do was burn the excess methane to mitigate the impact.
I’m sure rockets testing is a issue on its own, especially when we are facing a climate and social crisis and it’s being used for rich people entertainment or for aid authoritarian governments in shipping weapons into orbit
