This retarded meme? IT'S REAL! The US Fish & Wildlife refuses to approve SpaceX's upcoming $10B Starship launch until they do this EXACT "Impact Study." READY? A SEAL ON A SURFBOARD, WEARING HEADPHONES, listening to "rocket launch sounds," while they film his widdle face for signs of DISTRESS!

🦭 Let the unSEALing begin! 🦭
I can probably chime in on what is likely to be stated intention, anyway -- whether it's actually the reason, who knows.
When you socialize a dog, one thing that people forget to do is socialize them to sounds like fireworks and storms.
To do this, if you don't get them during storm season, fireworks season, etc. you can put on sounds through speakers, a TV, etc. and slowly increase the volume over time while keeping them calm and engaged with you.
I imagine that this is the excuse they'll use as a reason for it -- to socialize the animals for rocket launches.
Problem is... there's no way in hell that would able to be socialized, it's too loud and moves the ground too much.
