    Not really, it was a publicity stunt for sure, but it was that or a tank of water/block of concrete/some other mass simulator.

    The real crime is the space pollution. Not the other aspects, they were needed for validating the rocket.

      Now that you mention it, probably a tank of water might have actually been useful to someone. Like send it off on a path to the moon or mars. Or the ISS.
