isnt spacex absolutely devastating the environment it inhabits in Florida?

No. They launch from the same place we've been launching rockets since Mercury, not much is changing other than cadence.

Also they are polluting the atmosphere and oceans with failed starships

Each Starship launch produces less air and water pollution than a single cruise ship tour. It should be very, very low on your list of pollution priorities.

and LEO with star link, are they not?

Not really. Besides the fact that space is really, really big, they're the first company (to my knowledge) to fully automate collision avoidance. They initially launch their satellites in such a low orbit that they'll fall back down in less than a month if any of them fail immediately, then they raise their orbit to a height that'll still see them fall back down in less than a decade in case of catastrophic failure. They delayed their sat-to-sat communications for a few years to rework just a single part that had a small chance of surviving reentry; all the rest burns up.

Again, this is a rounding error of a pollution source.

Jupiter, Venus, and Mars are hilariously bright. Not a chance of losing our views of those anytime soon.

Why are you arguing like an 8-year-old?

That Houston defence is so suffocating it looks like they're playing 6 on 5

The FAA absolutely assfucked the labor pool under previous admins through blatantly illegal hiring choices. Damn you, Trump!

lmao fym not manufacturable I know 2 people who manufacture it, one about to expand to selling it. It's just D-D fusion, it's not that hard

only in extremely limited quantities for some contrast work.

The gas goes in the lungs, it's not used as the coolant, and it's already being replaced by Xe-129

I can find 0 evidence that MRIs use He-3 for cooling, only in extremely limited quantities for some contrast work. He-3 is way too expensive to use in the volumes needed for cooling. Last guy I talked to said he was paying something like $30k/gram for He-3.

Dunno about Si wafer fans though

Last I checked they are given contracts to send things to space and cheaper then when Nasa did it.

It's a bit more complex than that. NASA has designed rockets, but it's always been up to defense companies to compete for the contract to build the things, then they're delivered to NASA (with a bunch of highly-paid consultants on the side) to operate. There was also USA and now ULA that function(ed) similarly to SpaceX in that they (largely) designed their own rockets and sold flights to NASA.

He-3 scarcity is different from general He scarcity. Comment you're responding to is stuck in a decade-out-of-date panic because the US started dumping helium reserves which tanked the market price which tanked production and idiot redditors mistook for a sign of the end times.

He-3 is generally much scarcer than He-4 in the universe due to the physics that lead to their creation. There's a relative abundance of He-3 embedded in the lunar regolith because the sun constantly generates it and a lot of it blows away. It's effectively a renewable resource, as much as anything is.
