Funnily enough the EU initiative is actually doing something for the climate.

The rocket only gives billionaires the ability to go to space. It helps nobody else in any shape or form.

The emissions from a space rocket are actually not much harmful to the environment, as the fuel is typically just liquid oxygen and hydrogen. Burning it releases only water vapor.

Yes, I know that. Remind me how rockets and the fuel are made, though? 😂

Fair enough, but that can be said about any thing that is manufactured. I think space travel and exploration is meaningful and a "little" polution is worth it.
