Just now, the satellite launched by Space X, the space company founded by Musk, has had another accident, and today it has twice threatened the safety of the Chinese space station and almost quarreled with the European Space Agency.
So what the hell is going on? Musk has always been a lot of ideas, and launched a new chain project in 15 years, aiming to build one of the world's most advanced broadband Internet systems.
It was originally planned to lay a total of 12,000 satellites in three orbits around the Earth by 25 years, but by 20 years Musk said they planned to launch a total of 42,000 satellites into space.
They want to use these communication satellites to form a huge constellation covering the whole world to solve the problem of high-speed Internet access for people in remote areas. And the service fee is also cheap, only $99 per month.
Why did something go wrong?
It looks like a good thing, but why did something go wrong? The United States is used to running amok, this time Musk is also infected, the first two years of Space X in order to test the new technology, so that the new training speed dropped to 320 km altitude.
Nearly collided with the European Space Agency's Aeolian weather satellite, and the ESA found out that the success were ignored, and finally had to adjust the Aeolus orbit itself to avoid the collision.
In fact, this is not the first time something similar has happened, Musk hit the new chain cheaply, or rushed to occupy your way, and did not let the ESA contact, they directly pretended to be missing and did not deal with it.
ESA was forced to make emergency avoidance at the expense of the satellite's useful life. After that, Sachs ran out and explained that the bug email was not received, so do you believe it?
In fact, not only are their satellites cheap, but even the rockets they launch satellites are extremely cheap. Two days ago they announced the rocket's production process.
Do you dare to believe that the whole body is welded to stainless steel, not only can be reused many times, but also can take several satellites at a time, the cost is down, what else do you take and I have a hard confrontation?
The harm of doing so
It is said that the new union has only hit more than 1,000 satellites at present, and China's space station has only been up for half a year, and it has been forced to maneuver twice, if all 40,000 star chains have been deployed?
According to the probability, not counting other satellites, but the space station will be thrown more than 50 times a year. If these two times are not deliberately bad, if they are normal, on average once a week.
And then there will definitely be too late to avoid the collision of accidents, lip service to solve the problem of high-speed Internet for everyone, but behind the disregard for the safety of the global space station, Musk's businessman nature is exposed.
So what do you think? Feel free to tell me in the comments section and listen to it without losing money.
