"Our latest research explores the tipping point when launching more rockets will begin to cause problems. Our findings show that once rates reach 2,000 launches a year – about a ten-fold increase on last year – the current healing of the ozone layer slows down. We argue that with care, we can avoid this future. The economic benefits of industry growth can be realised, but it will take a collaborative effort."
