🇨🇳🇺🇸 CHINA FILES FOR 200,000 SATELLITES SPARKING FEARS OF A SPACE LAND GRAB
China just filed to reserve orbital slots for nearly 200,000 satellites, and it’s got space experts freaking out.
That’s more than 10x what Elon plans with Starlink, and way beyond what China could even launch right now.
They claim it’s for “airspace security,” but it’s clearly about locking down huge chunks of near-Earth orbit before anyone else can.
The U.S. sees this as part of the space arms race, and China’s already been caught doing weird satellite moves in orbit.
The orbit space is not an exception in geopolitical struggle between powers.
