  You’re not crashing the entire rocket, just a tiny bit of it. Also, generating direct energy has never been a climate change issue, it’s the byproducts of that generating that are fucking us up.

      As I said, only the energy of the satellite, not the entire rocket, which is a miniscule fraction of the energy the launch used.

      Also pointing out that it really doesn’t matter, in terms of energy, potential or otherwise. It’s only the byproducts that can have any major impact.
