Elon Musk said his company SpaceX will rescue the International Space Station (ISS) if Russia attempts to drop it from orbit. Just hours after threats by Vladimir Putin’s space chief, SpaceX activated Starlink satellites to guarantee internet access for people of Ukraine. Dimitry Rogozin, Russian politician, had taken to Twitter amidst the widely condemned Russian invasion of Ukraine to warn that Russian expertise and technology would be necessary to keep the ISS in orbit and prevent it from crashing down onto the US or Europe. ‘If you block cooperation with us, who will save the ISS from an uncontrolled deorbit and fall into the United States and Europe?’ Rogozin tweeted on Friday. ‘I think Elon is referring to this above,’ a Twitter user wrote after translating Rogozin’s tweet. ‘So Elon answered: SpaceX.’ When the Twitter user asked the billionaire if this meant SpaceX would keep the ISS from falling onto Earth, Musk replied in the affirmative. ‘Yes,’ Musk tweeted in response. The head of Tesla and SpaceX also replied to another tweet, which depicted the ISS without the Russian segment, and a SpaceX Dragon attached instead in its place. Good thread,’ Musk tweeted, in the video published on Feb 27, 2022, “Elon Rescues Ukraine, Provides Internet Starlink System During The War Between Russia And Ukraine“, below:
Elon Musk is sending Starlink service to Ukraine after a plea for help from the Vice Prime Minister on Twitter. Mykhailo wrote: @elonmusk, while you try to colonize Mars — Russia try to occupy Ukraine! While your rockets successfully land from space — Russian rockets attack Ukrainian civil people! We ask you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and to address sane Russians to stand, in the video published on Feb 27, 2022, “Elon Musk sends Starlink help to Ukraine“, below:
Tesla founder Elon Musk has been praised after SpaceX donated Starlink terminals to Ukraine so citizens in the war-torn country will now have access to internet without the threat of Russia shutting it down. The country’s vice president called on Elon Musk to help secure communication satellites after the internet went down in several parts of Ukraine. The billionaire responded “Starlink service is now active in Ukraine. More terminals en route.” The news is huge relief for Ukrainians who need to be able to stay in contact with the rest of the world while Russia continues its invasion. Elon Musk has been praised online for his help. “SpaceX donating Starlink terminals means it’s now impossible for Russia to shut down the internet. This keeps President Zelenskyy connected to Ukrainians and keeps Ukrainians connected to the world. It’s a monumental boon to their fight. Kudos to Elon Musk and Kimbal Musk,” Macleans magazine editor Scott Gilmore tweeted, in the video published on Feb 27, 2022, “Elon Musk praised for providing Ukraine with internet access“, below:
