Swamps are pretty important for cycling carbon and sustaining biodiversity across surrounding ecosystems. Fuck SpaceX for trying to devastate another ecosystem.
It is possible for launch complexes to coexist with the surrounding ecosystems. Case in point, the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, which has the Kennedy Space Center smack in the middle of it. Restricting humans from the area around the launch complex tends to be beneficial for wildlife.
I'll believe that Musk is capable of that when he stops devastating the ecosystems around his tesla factories, his already existing launch site in Boca Chica, and his colossus 1 and 2 data centers.
He keeps fucking up the environment with his other projects, why should anyone trust him not to do it again?
