Every space agency creates pollution and is bad for the environment but they’re all making a compromise, you shouldn’t stay ignorant to this fact. And I’m not giving them the benefit of doubt but I think it’s unfair to use this point to criticize one company when all the space agencies are contributors to the issue.

I feel like you’re conflating Musks “goals” (occupy mars cringe) with the overall purpose of spacex. Just because Musk who literally only just purchased the company makes these out their promises he only does so to boost stock price for the company, but this doesn’t mean these are their main objectives. Spacex is literally a business with the sole purpose of selling boosters to countries with space programs like NASA. You should condemn the US government for not prioritizing space science in any capacity, but science = war and when you have Lockheed already hiring NASA facilities and scientists/ engineers to build war machines then there’s no incentive to really care about the science part.

Also you’ll be surprised how many of the engineers love the Soviets who also work at the company. I don’t know if you’re doing a bit but the space community is different there’s an actual sense of solidarity with one another and they take pride in any human achievement in space travel and unlike the US manufactured “space race” and whoever “won” they would all say humans first but Soviets second. So yeah don’t talk out your ass
