China Slams US Over Space Station Near Misses With Elon Musk's Starlink Satellites

 

CBS/AFP: China slams U.S. after space station "close encounters" with Elon Musk satellites 

Beijing on Tuesday accused the United States of irresponsible and unsafe conduct in space over two "close encounters" between the Chinese space station and satellites operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX. 

Tiangong, China's new space station, had to maneuver to avoid colliding with one Starlink satellite in July and with another in October, according to a note submitted by Beijing to the United Nations space agency this month. 

The note said the incidents "constituted dangers to the life or health of astronauts aboard the China Space Station".

Who was the idiot(s) in China who made the decision to launch their space station into an orbit that conflicts with Elon Musk's SpaceX/Starlink satellites. Satellites that have been operating in this orbit for years.
