According to the Global Network reported on December 31, Musk denied that the "Starlink" satellites over-occupied space. The Chinese space station has issued a notice that the space station has twice made emergency evasion of the US "Starlink" satellite to avoid collision. After the announcement of this matter, many Chinese netizens expressed dissatisfaction with Musk, and now Musk has finally responded positively to the excessive occupation of space by the "Starlink" satellite. In his response, Musk also used the analogy between cars traveling on Earth and satellites operating in space, which is ridiculous. As the CEO of Tesla, Musk not only can not solve the problem of "brake failure" of the car, but now even the satellite can not "stop the car"?
Musk was scolded in China, responding to "Starlink"
After the news of the Chinese space station dodging the US "Starlink" satellite twice was announced, the Chinese people expressed strong dissatisfaction with Musk, foreign media noted Musk's scolding in China, and the project of the "Starlink" satellite caused a lot of controversy, and Musk finally responded positively to the excessive space occupation of the "Starlink" satellite.
On December 29, local time, Musk said in an interview that the "Starlink" satellite program does not over-occupy space, just like there are thousands of cars driving on the earth and nothing, in low Earth orbit, "tens of billions" of satellites are enough to operate, "Starlink" thousands of satellites are not nothing, and this does not mean that they are hindering others from entering the satellite industry.
Comparing cars traveling on Earth to satellites running in space, what is the speed and distance between cars? What is the speed at which satellites operate? Can the consequences of a collision be compared to the hazards of a car crash? It's ridiculous to make this remark as the founder of SpaceX.
Tesla can't brake the car, and the "StarLink" satellite can't stop the car?
The controversy over Tesla motors has not stopped, and too many owners have exposed that Tesla cars "can't brake the car", and due to "brake failure" caused a large number of "shocking" traffic accidents. In the face of the owner's rights protection, Tesla also put on a "proud posture", in the face of "public anger" refused to compromise, and finally under the pressure of public opinion to carry out a "sincere apology", Musk, as the CEO of Tesla Company, the founder of SpaceX, can not solve the "can not stop the car" Tesla, so that the "Starlink" satellite can not "brake the car".
Musk wants to build a global satellite Internet, and then has the "Starlink" satellite program, and has launched 1,900 satellites into space, with a plan of 42,000 satellites. If such a large number of satellites are all launched into low orbit in space, it will greatly increase the risk of satellite collisions in orbit. In this regard, the United States Forbes news released, saying that the "Starlink" satellite has an automatic collision avoidance system, but it does not seem to have any role in the two "touch porcelain" Chinese space station, which is "the same as the same" as Tesla Motors.
Chinese space station twice emergency evade "star chain"
According to the Global Network news, space experts said in an interview that the "Starlink" satellite down orbit and threaten the Chinese space station action, so the SpaceX was informed, and now it has been two months since the second incident, Musk has responded positively to the "excessive occupation of space". This matter has triggered a heated discussion among netizens, the speed of the satellite running in space orbit and the car on the ground can not be compared, so the satellite operation needs a larger distance to avoid collision accidents, but Musk's response is obviously "stealing the concept", only care about their own interests, completely disregarding the consequences.
