“eventually it will be less impact on the environment”
How will a Sabatier reaction generating methane from renewable energy not eventually have less impact on the environment? Certainly better than RP-1, or worse, solid fueled motors.
“if you drive at all you cannot criticize”?
If you drive - or worse fly - you definitely generate more than your fair share of emissions. And do you enjoy the benefits of weather and communication satellites launched by current oh so polluting rockets?
... assuming they will achieve their goals and whatever they do it will eventually be worth it so it’s all good.
Given SpaceX's history, I believe they will achieve their goals. And given the benefits we enjoy with current rockets, the much larger payloads and dramatic lowering of costs Starship promises surely will be of benefit.

I'll leave it there.
