I am sorry but this is false.

Toxicity and polluting aspects of Rockets is of a negligible concern, Everyday Astronaut (Youtube fame) gets this so often that he did an entire hour long video on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4VHfmiwuv4

Well darn.

Hydrazine is highly toxic and Crew Dragon uses a derivative of it.

Neither Crew Dragon, or Hydrazine, is on the rocket in question...

So the FAA should hand off regulation of one particular rocket to a different agency because it is not dangerous to the public in one particular aspect? What if they decide to use hydrazine in the maneuvering thrusters? Then it should be handed back?
