SpaceX sent a request to the Federal Communications Commission last week to block Globalstar from launching a new Canadian-built 48-satellite constellation
Everything SpaceX is doing and has done could have been done by NASA had NASA been given the equivalent funds and leeway. This has been covered multiple times in many interviews of NASA scientists and engineers. Simply put, NASA cannot afford and is not allowed to take risks. They are not allowed to blow up ships over Florida and the Caribbean until they figure it out. They used to be allowed, but not anymore.
This very much ignores that there are tangible benefits from the successes of SpaceX’s engineers and scientists.
Also, who’s this Elon guy? He sounds like a twat.

I don’t disagree with that
Probably done better since there is no profit motive.
