Call me jaded, but I am tired of these doomer takes. It seems like every place on earth is filled with "unique biodiversity" these days.

And Musk's unwillingness to do years of extra "safety precaution" studies, bi-lingual outreach, etc. seems like a (rational) unwillingness to play by the rules of people who overtly hate Musk and want him to fail.

And yes, if you take the worst possible possibility for everything, it does look potentially bad. But that's extremely unlikely. And, if it does happen, SpaceX will have to fix it before they launch a second rocket.
