Now about the carbon footprint of rockets ...

I remember reading some articles about that. According to Musk, the carbon footprint from the rocket fuel is a tiny fraction of that done by ordinary airplane travel. Rockets don't fly every day, but airplanes do. So we shouldn't blame rockets for carbon emissions, we should blame jet airplanes.
