Hey, go boo the actual bad shit Musk is doing. Starship is an amazing feat of human engineering. One that has already made orbit, btw.

Sooty exhaust from RP-1 and aluminum oxide particulates from discarded upper stages will not be a problem with Starship.

Starship uses methalox, and the upper stage is designed to be reusable.

Funny, because what you implied is that it was Musk doing it.
