Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket tests in Texas are emitting so much methane you can see it from space::So much you can see it from the ISS in space.

Didn’t we originally think the same (“you’re protecting nothing”) when it came to the ocean, the Rain Forests, lakes, streams, the Arctic, etc? Until we learned otherwise. By that time, the profit motive was too entrenched to ever allow things to change.
By way of example, what if the moon were mined to such an extreme that it changed its orbit? Wouldn’t that impact it or the earth itself? What if the moon were no longer there at all because that suited a future trillionaire’s aim to add another billion to their bank account?
No, the environmental movement has been happening since the industrial revolution caused air pollution

Mining the moon for rocket fuel won’t affect its orbit, and I’m not sure how a trillionaire could remove the moon
Bet if Elon was in charge he’d find a way to crash it.
“wahhhh, Twitter, wahhhh”
If they found an asteroid they liked, they might try to alter its orbit to put it on a collision course with the moon in order to make it more convenient to mine. Don’t underestimate how stupid people can be.
At worst it’d be a new crater and debris thrown into orbit. The very largest asteroid thrown at the moon, even like Ceres, would be a peashooter at a barge.
