Former President Trump has expressed a desire to streamline environmental regulations for rocket launches, potentially benefiting companies like SpaceX. He aims to 'eliminate or expedite' existing rules, arguing they hinder the growth of the commercial space industry. SpaceX and other launch providers have long advocated for regulatory reform, claiming current processes are overly burdensome and time-consuming. Critics, however, worry about the potential environmental impact of reduced oversight on launch activities, including pollution and habitat disruption. This policy shift could significantly impact the future of space exploration and development.
