Is this a light pollution hazard, or an enjoyable spectacle in the night sky?

I think I'll give you this one. However, there's another much more serious concern:

Traditional launch vehicle suppliers have not been cutting corners when it comes to protecting surrounding
communities from rockets blowing up in early tests.

I see the three stories I linked to above, unlike the one I saw first, didn't refer to what I was
noting, but this one does:

https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20230424-giant-spacex-rocket-leaves-crater-serious-damage-at-texas-base

- the lack of a flame trench and a deluge system.
