The impact to SpaceX probably wouldn&#x27;t be that big.<p>The amount of fuel required to get to the space station is within an order of magnitude of that required to cross the Atlantic in an aeroplane.<p>The Falcon 9 uses about 112000 litres of fuel [1] which costs about $200000.<p>A 10 hour flight on a trans-atlantic jet might burn 150000 litres [2].<p>Even if the launch cadence increases to much more than what they have been planning (they were on track to launch about one a month this year until the CRS-7 incident), the cost to offset the carbon used in launches is almost insignificant.<p>There will be other aspects of the business that release carbon as well, of course, but those would be impacted in a similar fashion across the other businesses (manufacturing and logistical costs etc).<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Falcon_9#Launch_prices" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Falcon_9#Launch_prices</a><p>[2] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;science.howstuffworks.com&#x2F;transport&#x2F;flight&#x2F;modern&#x2F;question192.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;science.howstuffworks.com&#x2F;transport&#x2F;flight&#x2F;modern&#x2F;que...</a>
