I find it remarkable how people always criticize bitcoin for environmental damage but when people are sending rockets to the orbit that's ok! One technology is apparently bad & the other good. Both damage the environment. What's the framework to judge this?

"The rocket held 440 tons of jet fuel, which has a high carbon content, meaning it releases a lot of carbon dioxide into the air when burned. If SpaceX meets its target of launching a rocket every two weeks, then the company will be releasing roughly 4,000 tons of carbon into the atmosphere each year, Whittaker calculated."
