People think that the future is either Star Trek or Mad Max, when the reality is probably somewhere in between, just like it has been for every age that preceded us. They predicted the jetsons in the mid 1900’s and the terminator in the 1980’s. We are closer to both but neither is totally correct.

So how will space rockets and satellites travel to space once it's closed? Did they even think about this

No, but there was (still is) a multi-billion-dollar industry which stood to make even more money by pivoting to the less-damaging chemicals.

There wasn't also a trillion-dollar industry willing to spend decades propagandising against fixing it.

Because of what? The Eastern world is the biggest problem with pollution. Us planning to ban cars hasnt benefitted anything yet. America is bad with pollution (really the companies are) but we actually have EVP laws in place unlike a lot of other countries that we're now buying more oil from because of the price increase to drill on federal land.
