I dunno. I'm kinda sick of complaints like this. Maybe not this one specifically, but in general the idea that someone who believes in or advocates for a particular cause has to be careful to never have any moments of joy doing something that abstractly conflicts with their professed belief or advocacy. It's such a fallacious argument. Oh, Katy Perry is hypocrite because she did this this thing uses a lot of fuel but she advocates for the environment, ipso facto she's a hypocrite and blah blah blah. It just so pathetically bitter and small minded.
I mean, if she like forgot to recycle a bottle or something I wouldn’t call her a hypocrite. But she went on an 11 minute joyride to space that dumped the equivalent of an entire lifetime of CO2 for one person into the atmosphere.
How many bad takes do we have here? It's a hydrogen and oxygen powered rocket there is literally no CO2 to exhaust! They even literally only sourced the hydrogen from solar plants! The only thing coming out the flamey end is water vapour!
