Yeah but I'm still talking about when this takes off for ordinary people. If it becomes an affordable endeavour, and there are say, 20* of these launches happening a day around the world... who pays for the carbon emissions? Will I (or others) be able to offset the emissions? Is that how the company will get "around" the issue.
I'm not fussed what the super rich do for the moment, because the real impact is when joe public can do it.
