@ProPublica I was deeply confused and thought this was about rocket launchers as in explosive projectile weapons at first 😅

@ProPublica Here comes the Kessler Effect, accelerating as the rules for launching stuff into near orbit and leaving it there are effectively eliminated.

@ProPublica wow we really are going to wreck our only planet so people can do “space tourism” while claiming it’s for some super important technological progress.

@ProPublica Definitely, we are living under the ‘Embrace The Horror’, Sucking The Life From Us Malevolence. Don’t dare use a benign name like administration.
