🚀 Space race shouldn't wreck the ozone layer

A study revealed that dramatically increasing kerosene-burning rocket launches could negatively impact the atmosphere. Scientists from NOAA and The Aerospace Corporation found this risk if launch activity grew tenfold over five decades. Such a rise could cause stratospheric temperatures to increase by 0.5 to 2°C and reduce ozone concentrations near 30 degrees north latitude. This is concerning because the ozone layer protects against harmful UV radiation essential for ecosystems. Therefore, the growing space economy must prioritize sustainable practices and consider cleaner rocket fuels. 🛰️
