There are a lot of mad scientists in the world, and Musk of the United States is one of them! He developed Tesla's electric car not to protect the environment, but to prepare for the human migration to Mars.
In 2015, he also announced a bold satellite launch program with the goal of launching 12,000 artificial satellites into space over the five-year period from 2019 to 2024. The original plan was already very crazy, but then Musk re-formulated the plan to launch 42,000 satellites into space by 2027 to create a global starlink network.
When he was a child, Musk had a strong fantasy about space, hoping to complete the exploration of the universe and outer space when the conditions were ripe, and it was precisely because the career of the automobile was on the right track that Musk once again put the desire to explore the universe into action, and the starlink plan he proposed was the first goal of exploring the universe.
According to the statistical results of relevant agencies, there are currently 7389 artificial satellites in all space. There is no doubt that of these 7389 people, more than half of them are American. Most of the others were sent by the former Soviet Union and the European Space Agency.
To be ashamed, of the 7,389 satellites, only 400 were sent by China. But we were lucky, at least we got the right place. Developing countries such as India, subject to their own technological developments, have so far not been able to seize the position of low Earth orbit.
At present, Musk has launched 19,000 satellites into space, so frequently launching cheap satellites into space has made the already crowded space more crowded. And twice "touched porcelain" the Chinese space station.

In high-speed operation, as long as it collides with an object with a diameter of more than 10 centimeters, the Chinese space station will be damaged. The Chinese side said that this has threatened the personal safety of Chinese astronauts, and it is impossible not to hide!

Musk's starlink satellite almost crashed into the Thai satellite before, but fortunately it passed by. It is foreseeable that as Musk launches more and more cheap satellites, impacts like these will occur frequently, which is undoubtedly a headache for countries.
The Earth's low-orbit orbit is a "non-renewable resource" with a maximum capacity of about 50,000 satellites, and if the Starlink project launches 42,000 satellites as planned, it will account for more than 80%.
When Musk's StarChain ambitions were exposed, some people commented on the "thick black" angle.
At the end of 2021, the newly appointed director-general of the European Space Agency, Ashbach, warned that the Starlink program affects the radio frequencies and orbital space conditions in space, and that "it is amazing that one person has half of the world's active satellites", which means that "Musk is making the rules of space on his own". And all this is due to the support of the Long-term Hegemony of the United States and its strong voice.
Musk's proposed starlink plan is actually not a grand scientific research and development goal of mankind, the cost of the satellite he launched is only 2% of the normal satellite, not only poor quality, performance is also very poor, most of them are useless satellites, the biggest role is to occupy the earth's low Earth orbit, so that other countries have no way. Not only will it affect other countries to explore space, but also in case there is a "crisis" on the earth, the way out will be blocked.
Once these satellites fail to become space junk crowded into orbit, making it difficult for low-altitude satellites to survive in this area, and even affecting humans to launch satellites in higher orbits. The most serious consequence is to affect the ability of generations of Earthlings to explore space, completely "locking" humans on Earth for hundreds of years.
This also means that it will become very difficult for the mainland to launch satellites into space in the future, and even the launch time may need to be determined by Musk! At that time, we will become very passive, and even be suppressed and restricted by the other side, so we must respond in advance and never let the US plan succeed!
