   Some time ago I read that a large number of spacecraft launches might
affect the atmosphere, particularly the ozone layer, what with all the
combustion products being released by the engines into the upper atmosphere.
Does anyone know if this is true? If it is, then you may have to rethink
your plans for mass migration until you find some non-combustion powered
way to get people above the atmosphere (elevators?).
