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! 🦭
First of all, the launch is expected by this weekend, so your angst is misplaced.
Secondly, I was only relaying what someone else said about the purpose of the assessment. Which was a paper study, since no testing of any actual rocket took place (and the meme was idiotic nonsense).
Thirdly, when you burn a carbonaceous fuel in a rocket, it goes nearly equally to carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. You are welcome to breathe the carbon monoxide. It is good for no one. Thankfully, it is not heavier than air.
Fourthly, as demonstrated by the first launch fiasco, there is definitely the possibility of the exhaust "scrubbing" concrete dust (or eroding the concrete) to create particulate contamination of any deluge water.
China is well behind SpaceX, which is the world leader in reuse, and I expect it to remain so. The current delay was never a problem in the development of the Falcon 9 and Falcon 9 Heavy. It was entirely the result of Musk's foolish attempt to cut corners. What do you want? For Musk to pull off dangerous experiments that could harm the wildlife in the adjacent state park? Your whole attitude is belligerent without cause.
