Rockets launched by billionaires Elon Musk and Richard Branson emit black carbon in the stratosphere, where it is 500 times worse for the climate than it is on earth.
The pollution from rockets built by SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic could damage human health and hurt the Earth's climate, a new study shows.
Billions of dollars of investment capital are poured into spaceflight creating greater demand for rockets and in turn an increase in pollution. bluShift Aerospace is looking to be part of the solution by manufacturing bio-derived fuel-based rockets.
