According to the British "Daily Star" reported on February 10, some scientists from NASA are angry and worried about Elon Musk's satellite launch plan.
Elon Musk's companies include tram giant Tesla and SpaceX, a company dedicated to aviation exploration, but clearly not satisfied with the scale of his existing business, Elon Musk wants to launch more than 30,000 new satellites to provide broadband services to users around the world.
Elon Musk's company had been allowed to send 12,000 satellites before, and as Elon Musk's ambitions grew, NASA scientists and researchers began to be dissatisfied with the increasing number of satellites in the air, believing that these satellites operating in earth-space orbit would have a bad impact on human exploration in the future.
In a letter to the Federal Communications Commission, someone at NASA said: "The possible increase in the number of satellites and their additional impact will play a bad role in NASA's scientific research and human aviation." ”
To further illustrate scientists' concerns, space X's second-generation rocket exploded in the universe, leaving a five-fold increase in debris compared to the past, and at present, a suitable way has not been found to clean up the debris that rotates in orbit.
Jeff Bezos of Amazon supports NASA's view, even though Jeff Bezos is also launching more than three thousand satellites into the universe in order to implement his cooper program.
Jeff Bezos also wrote a letter to the FCC: "There may be more than a thousand satellites operating at the same altitude as the Cooper program satellites, and there are too many satellites in the universe, which may pose unnecessary risks to the normal operation of the Cooper system." In the face of so much controversy, Elon Musk is still bent on going his own way, announcing that 40 satellites will be sent.
