A string of light spots streaking across the night sky like a meteor shower and a thruster that shines blue like a sci-fi movie; this is the Starlink satellite that Elon Musk launched into space. According to data from the European Space Agency in May, there were only about 4,300 active artificial satellites in Earth orbit at that time. Humans have only launched 11,670 satellites in history, while Musk’s Starlink has launched 1,944. That is to say, Half of the satellites in the sky are now owned by Musk, and he plans to send a total of 42,000 satellites into low-Earth orbit.
