In a significant development, a Chinese satellite appears to have demonstrated a laser strike capability against Starlink, SpaceX's growing satellite internet constellation, from an astonishing distance of 36,000 kilometres.
This incident raises questions about the evolving landscape of space security and the potential for a new era of orbital challenges with Chinese scientists making a remarkable advancement in space technology, achieving a significant breakthrough in satellite communication as they used a laser, as dim as a nightlight, to transmit data at speed exceeding Starlink's.
