Not just working to get there. But, actually testing to make it safe. And so far it seems to have been successful.
IMHO, this test was a brilliant idea.

Here is another one, maybe this one you can see.
@TristanNuvo Thank you: that one is very good!
@ToolGuy I was wondering that myself. Did some digging, and it was not as bad as I thought. The propellant is a refined kerosene, (which is a fossil fuel), and O2. They estimated that is is about the same emissions as 3 passenger flights from NYNY, to LA. Where that is quite a bit. it is really a drop in the bucket when you consider just how many passenger flights there are every day. Plus it is less than most other previous rockets.
I do know that SpaceX, as well as others have been working on alt, fuels. I like that they are keeping that in mind.
This reminds me of when the Challenger exploded.

Me too. But I think that was the point, to safeguard the people in case of any failure.
@TristanNuvo Yeah, I know. All of this should have been done before the shuttle program was ended. Depending on the Russians is something we never should have done.
