Musk told the paper.

Musk Joseph Ashpacher, In response to the words of the head of the European Space Agency, he said at present The owner of SpaceX creates the rules for space.

The SpaceX Starling project has so far launched 2,000 satellites and plans to launch tens of thousands of satellites around the Earth.

Ashpatcher warned

Launching thousands of communication satellites would accommodate fewer radio frequencies and everyone else around the earth.

Musk argued that there is room for tens of thousands of satellites, and that there are about 2 billion cars and trucks in the world, and that any condensed orbit around the Earth is larger than the Earth’s surface, in total there are many satellites. ..

However, experts say that musk is not right Spacecraft traveling at 27,000 kilometers per hour require more distance than cars to adjust their orbit. According to an astrophysicist, there will be space for approximately a thousand satellites in a central circle to avoid collisions with security.

China recently complained about Muskin’s Starling project: They said the Chinese space station should take repeated preventive measures to avoid a collision with Muskin’s satellites.
