    The problem I see with Starship is the leaking of methane into the high atmosphere. In the second test flight so much propellant was released at termination it showed up on weather radar. There will likely be less RUDs as time progresses, but every engine shutoff and start up event leaks an unknown amount of propellant. That will definitely stop being a rounding error if these things are launching at the cadence spacex intends.
