I don’t think a maximalist strategy leads someone like Bezos to change their actions.
If you are an individual making make memes then saying: “Bezos produced X tonnes of CO2 with his launch but he did nothing to offset the CO2 production” would be a productive position.
Offsetting is something that a billionare can simply buy with money. If you care about moralizing then asking for something that can simply solved by throwing money at it is bad. If you however care for reducing CO2 asking for actions that are relatively easy to do is the way to go.
Another thought would be to think up a possible agreement where space companies publically accept the responsibility to do offsetting and then push for that agreement (maybe make a petition for it).
