      Again a ridiculous argument. One is literally intended to kill someone, the other is a means of transportation. I’m not a fan of cars either but if you actually want to get people on board with the cause equating anyone who drives with Wernher Von Braun is a bad move.

        Rockets don’t exist purely to kill people.

        In fact, they are a mode of transit! Can you get a man to the moon in a car?

        tone policing from someone who will obviously never be an ally

        Cool story.

          The rockets you were referencing were never a means of transport, only a long distance weapon used by Nazis. And apparently I’m not an ally because I don’t think literally everyone who drives is as bad as a Nazi war scientist who made some of the Nazis deadliest weapons? Are literally just a troll to make this sub look bad?

      When rockets take people to space then we do care where they come down, and that’s strategically decided to avoid killing people. If you mean rockets with explosives attached that are designed with the intent to kill people, then your comparison is equally as dumb as your first one.
