SpaceX CEO Musk in response to ESA criticism: we are not interfering with anyone and we are not going to do this
The head of the American company SpaceX, Elon Musk, in an interview with the Financial Times, commented on the criticism of the Starlink satellites by the Director General of the European Space Agency (ESA), Josef Aschbacher, reports TASS .
According to the head of ESA, which does not have reusable rockets, does not have its own global satellite system for high-speed broadband Internet access and is in crisis due to the UK's exit from the EU, Musk sets his own rules in space.
"Space is incredibly huge, and satellites are tiny. This is not the case when we can say that we are somehow creating obstacles for someone. We are not interfering with anyone and we are not going to do this," the American engineer said, noting that "there is enough space for tens of billions of satellites" of the Earth.
In early December, China presented a document to the UN in which it spoke about the threat of the global satellite system of high-speed broadband Internet access Starlink. The statement claims that on July 1 and October 21, the Chinese Tiangong orbital station allegedly evaded a possible collision with SpaceX spacecraft of American businessman Elon Musk.
