How damaging is space exploration?

With billionaires heading into orbit and Prince William criticising the space race, how damaging is it to the environment and climate change?

The Blue Origin non orbital rocket mainly exhausts Hydrogen and Oxygen and virtually no Carbon Dioxide. Report facts please not drama!🙄

[cityblue]

How damaging is sky news asking stupid questions ? Then when there is a proper subject where people want to debate sky news turns off comments

It's a tiny amount compared to a single factory every day. It's basically not damaging.

[angelac]

We should care more than we do about the only earth we have.

[mistermate.]

The only “exploration” being done here is research into ‘geriatrics rocket nappies’

[johnnyhollis]

And Sky News gets it's broadcasts around the planet by what? Would that also involve orbital satellites may be and they are launched in to orbit by perhaps!

[haze]

Farming industry i mean why are we deflecting the views?? It’s that farming industry that is doin the most damage

[SeanKarleone]

Done worry, everyone will feel the effects of this sooner than later, its unavoidable. Not even money will be able to save.

[grahamturner]

So Rupert Murdoch doesn't have investments in the space industry...

Rocket fuel can be produced in a sustainable way using renewable energy sources.

[AminaNailiDarwiche]

The fuel used for takeoff and rocket flight must also require impressive amounts.

Where else are we suppose to send the old people. The roads are safer with them up there

[kevinkyser]

Eh…just plant a few trees…that will fix it.

[jorisbonson]

Parabolic flights happen every day.. nothing new here.

[thusharj]

So much false information!!! Rediculous

[thomasmorin]

To boldly go where old farts rarely go.

[sweatymrkim]

It must've cost a fortune.

Look what climate change has done to Jeff's eye.

[gedhuffadine]

Not as damaging as holiday flights, quiet on this Sky hypocrites

[DavidGetling]

Compared to the billions of selfish private motorists, who own and drive cars that they really don't need, space exploration is like pissing in the ocean.
