Musk's Starlink project was targeted by cats: "satellite pot" into a cat heater

Musk's Starlink program at SpaceX has encountered an unexpected problem.

The British "Guardian" said on the 10th that the StarLink program aims to provide Internet access for people around the world, but it has proved that it also provides another service: warming up the cat.

A picture posted on Twitter showed five cats crammed onto a star-chain disc-shaped antenna, which was capable of connecting more than a thousand satellites. The netizen also said that the presence of these "sneaky cats" has slowed down the internet speed.

"StarLink worked well until the cat found out that the antenna emitted a little bit of heat on a cold day," said the Aaron Taylor.

After the image went viral online, Taylor explained that the cats had run to the antenna voluntarily, not necessarily.

The report explained that the reason why the starlink antenna attracts cats may be its "self-heating" function, which was originally designed to melt ice and snow.

The report also mentioned that the appeal of starlink antennas to cats is not the only problem. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said in December last year that in July and October 2020, the Starlink satellite launched by the Us Space Exploration Technology Corporation approached the Chinese space station twice. During this period, Chinese astronauts are on missions inside the space station. For safety reasons, the Chinese space station has taken emergency collision avoidance measures.
