Elon's Rocket

Thanks to Elon's rocket, there was this strange cloud on the horizon early this morning.  The plume is the only thing in the sky high enough to catch the Sun so early in the morning.  I can't imagine it is good for our atmosphere.  But I suspect we'll handle it like every other form of pollution in my life:  We'll ignore it until it becomes unignorable. Don't worry, you'll know unignorable when you see it.  A river will catch fire, sludge will ooze up out of the ground and into your bathtub, medical waste will wash up on your beach or ice will disappear in the winter.  You'll know it.

Whether from Elon's rocket or just nature, the colors in the sky seemed to separate well this morning — the orange to the green to the blue.
