I always have such conflicting feelings watching SpaceX-contracted-by-NASA launches. The engineering is just SO impressive (like, HOLY SHIT watching those boosters land?! WOW.) And the Psyche mission is going to do such impressive science work! https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/psyche
But the owner of SpaceX is completely horrible, and what they're doing in low Earth orbit is destructive and poorly planned, and the pollution from all this is stupidly high. I hate it.
