Rockets destroy ozone and cause climate change – aerospace programs’ deadly impacts to the Earth
By Nina BeetyJanuary 24, 2022 Since its beginnings, the space industry has used PR, Hollywood, and a parade of stars to carve itself into the public psyche, including targeting children. Aerospace costs have been largely ignored or hidden, but these costs are serious and accelerating. The ozone layer in the sky continues to deteriorate despiteContinue reading “Rockets destroy ozone and cause climate change – aerospace programs’ deadly impacts to the Earth”
