preface
The world is big and strange, just like the earth where human beings live, space is also very limited, with the gradual increase in the number of people, the gradual rise of the level of science and technology, the exploration of outer space has reached an unprecedented height, the mysterious universe emits a color that cannot be ignored, which also stimulates the desire of human beings to explore outer space.
However, outer space is not infinite, and there is a conventional rule about the ownership of outer space. Although it has not been implemented on paper, it has become a consensus since the establishment of the United Nations.
In the occupation of outer space, there has always been a rule, that is, who occupies the low Earth orbit first, the right to use belongs to whom, adhering to the principle of first come, first served, in other words, who first launches satellites in low Earth orbit, this border area belongs to the country.
This is a rule that has never been broken in decades, however, this stable situation has been broken because of Musk's arrival, and even triggered the anger of many netizens to ask: Is there really no royal law? If you want to launch satellites in the future, do you still have to look at Musk's face? The key is that Musk's starlink plan has attracted the attention of countless people.
Speaking of Musk, presumably most people will not be unfamiliar, leading Tesla this car group in the country to make a name, obtained a lot of benefits, as the founder of Tesla, not only promoted the development of the automotive industry, but also with the strong performance created by the company, successfully won the position of the world's richest man for two consecutive years, but also made his dream have the space and opportunity to land.
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.
After all, most of the artificial satellites launched by Musk do not have any practical use, but simply occupy the favorable resources of outer space and seize low-Earth orbit.
After understanding Musk's inner thoughts and plans, many people reprimanded this behavior, and even sighed: Is there no one to take care of it?
In fact, Musk in 2014, has released the idea of the Starlink program, since 2015, Musk has launched 1900 satellites into outer space, for the limited space of low Earth orbit, the formation of a strong crowd, for other countries that are not mature in outer space exploration technology, the formation of a strong pressure, but also make the entire space environment become more crowded.
Many people sighed: Although Musk has launched so many satellites, can no one control him?
According to the international principle of who launches first, who uses and develops, the artificial satellites launched by Musk should be protected, and all this is due to the support of the long-term hegemony of the United States and its strong voice.
As we all know, the United States in a certain period of time, the development of science and technology is very strong, especially in the exploration of outer space, has been occupying a non-negligible influence, as of now, a total of 7389 artificial satellites in outer space, but most of this number is from the United States.
The remaining part is only concentrated in the former Soviet Union and the European Space Agency, China's space industry has developed rapidly in recent years, only 400 have been sent into outer space, occupying a place in many developing countries, but there is still a certain gap from developed countries.
Even if China pays so much attention to the state of the space industry, there are still not many advantages in the territory of low Earth orbit in outer space, and the large-scale promotion of Musk's wave of star chain plans has also worried many people, even if 1900 satellites have been launched today, the distance from the orbit of low Earth satellites is gradually approaching 1 kilometer, making the future operation of satellites more difficult.
It should be known that the speed of satellites is very fast, and the speed of the universe can reach 7 kilometers per second, and at such a speed of nearly 1 kilometer, it is almost instantaneous, and there will also be scratches and collisions.
In the eyes of many people, Musk's behavior is an occupation of outer space resources, although it is not too large a scientific research and development goal, but this behavior of occupying the earth's low Earth orbit is also intolerable.
