Chinese social media users blast Elon Musk over near miss in space
中国网民因太空避让问题炮轰马斯克
Chinese social media users have attacked Elon Musk after satellites of SpaceX, his private rocket company, forced the country’s space station to manoeuvre out of the way to avoid collisions twice this year.
中国社交媒体用户纷纷攻击埃隆•马斯克(Elon Musk)，原因是他的私人火箭公司SpaceX的卫星今年两次迫使中国空间站主动采取紧急避碰，以规避碰撞风险。
The country’s mission to the UN complained this month that the Chinese space station had to take “preventive collision avoidance control” measures in October and July to “ensure the safety and lives of in-orbit astronauts”.
中国驻联合国代表团本月抱怨称，中国空间站不得不在7月和10月两次采取“预防性碰撞规避控制”措施，以确保“在轨航天员安全”。
China said the two satellites from SpaceX’s Starlink internet network were moving dangerously and alleged that one had an unpredictable “manoeuvre strategy”. Beijing did not say how close the spacecraft had come to a collision.
中方表示，事发时，SpaceX星链卫星(Starlink)计划所发射的两颗卫星在危险地移动，其中一颗具有未知的“机动策略”。北京方面没有说明这颗卫星离会发生碰撞的位置有多接近。
