    Is this a light pollution hazard, or an enjoyable spectacle in the night sky?

    I think I'll give you this one. However, there's another much more serious concern:

    https://www.space.com/spacex-starship-launch-debris-terrifying https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/24/spacex-starship-explosion-spread-particulate-matter-for-miles.html

    Traditional launch vehicle suppliers have not been cutting corners when it comes to protecting surrounding
    communities from rockets blowing up in early tests.

    I see the three stories I linked to above, unlike the one I saw first, didn't refer to what I was
    noting, but this one does:

    https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20230424-giant-spacex-rocket-leaves-crater-serious-damage-at-texas-base

    - the lack of a flame trench and a deluge system.

    Exactly. What we need is regulation.
