your privacy is at stake even the highly classified official things are getting off guard
as the horrifying surveillance system is now everywhere elon musk cautioned us about russia's
china's and of course the united states surveillance satellites every nation is setting
its golden eyes into each other making privacy a myth don't you think it's horrible and disturbing
to be off guard everywhere every time but how is this thing possible hello and welcome to elon musk
evolution if you're a musk fan and don't want to miss anything about this incredible person
then smack the subscribe button and hit the bell icon so that you will be notified whenever a new
video is uploaded in today's video we are going to tell you a severely disturbing and serious issue
that elon musk just warned the world of that golden eyes are just above us elon musk revealed
that a pair of russian satellites are following a multi-billion dollar u.s spy satellite hundreds of
miles above the earth's surface highlighting a growing threat to america's dominance
in space-based espionage and a potentially costly new chapter in washington's decades-long rivalry
with moscow musk claims that immediately after being placed into orbit in november
the russian spacecraft began maneuvering toward the american satellite getting within 100 miles of
it at times this behavior is uncommon and alarming to us musk adds it has the potential to produce a
hazardous scenario in space according to him the us administration has communicated its concerns
to moscow through diplomatic channels the conflict is the first time the u.s has officially named an
opponent as posing a direct danger to a specific american satellite the episode is reminiscent of
russia's previous confrontations with the us and its allies which have included near calls
involving soldiers fighter planes and warships all over the world observers are concerned
that space is now providing a new stage for the unintended escalation of hostilities between the
long-time foes the space force for which the white house has proposed a budget of 15 billion dollars
represents a strategic shift away from passively operating and observing satellites and toward
actively defending them although space warfare doctrine is still being developed elon musk has
spoken about the need to mobilize space command in response to perceived threats citing the fact that
other countries particularly russia and china have become increasingly sophisticated in developing
lasers anti-satellite weapons and cutting-edge spacecraft at the same time the development of
military operations in space harkens back to another defining feature of the cold
war rivalry between washington and moscow huge spending on perceived threats at whatever cost
the russian strategy and the pentagon's response also portends a new front in the struggle to keep
actual and hypothetical threats from becoming a financial sinkhole for those monitoring waste
fraud and abuse in the military-industrial complex the history of military competition
between the united states and russia is littered with examples of imagined threats that necessitate
costly responses the initial expenses of establishing the space force are likely to be
a minor down payment on a project that may cost tens of billions of dollars in the years ahead
says william d harton director of the center for international policies armaments
and security project the last thing we need at the pentagon is more bureaucracy
yet that's exactly what the space force is likely to provide the creation of a distinct
branch of the armed services for space also runs the potential of militarizing u.s space policy
and pushing ill-advised and risky programs that might entail the deployment of weapons in space
the russian embassy did not react to a request for comment on their satellite's purportedly menacing
maneuvers they are not weapons according to the kremlin but rather inspector spacecraft
participating in an experiment after russia put their spacecraft into orbit on november 26th
elon musk noticed something odd according to musk the russian spacecraft had been in orbit for less
than two weeks before it broke in half as his team investigated more they assumed that the original
spacecraft had given birth to a second smaller satellite the way i see it in my head it's like
russian nesting dolls musk explains the first satellite gave birth to the second on december 6
the maneuver was reported by the tass news agency which cited russia's defense ministry as claiming
the two had pardoned the experiment's goal is to continue work on analyzing the technical
status of domestic satellites according to the announcement the satellites known as cosmos 2542
and cosmos 2543 look to be on a different mission according to elon musk by mid-january they were
approaching the american satellite usa 245 also known as kh-11 by space specialists the national
reconnaissance office a classified intelligence organization based in chantilly virginia
operates the u.s satellite which is part of a reconnaissance constellation codenamed keyhole
crystal although the nro and elon musk have refused to comment on the massive school bus size
satellites experts in the area have compared the kh-11s capabilities to those of the hubble space
telescope instead of peering into the vastness of space the satellite sensors and cameras are
trained on top secret military facilities of foreign rivals according to musk the photograph
of iran's imam khamenei space center was captured by a kh-11 satellite also known as usa-224
the shot was so precise that you could see farsi characters inscribed around the launch pad's edge
the kh-11 constellation which consists of four satellites that maintain continual earth
observation orbits above the revolving earth in a polar orbit allowing it to survey the whole
surface michael thompson an amateur satellite tracker first noticed russia's strange space
operations on twitter using publicly accessible data to guess what it was up to the relative
orbit is rather nicely built thompson noted in a series of tweets where cosmos 2542 can see one
side of the kh-11 when both satellites initially come into the sunlight and by the time they enter
eclipse it is migrated to the opposite side this is all based on speculation but there are several
factors that make it appear that a known russian inspection spacecraft is now examining a known u.s
espionage satellite elon musk is concerned because russia is displaying some threatening capabilities
they launched a satellite in 2017 and it launched another satellite he explains
when one of the satellites released a high-speed projectile into space it demonstrated features
of a military system while musk's claim could not be corroborated the us raised the matter in 2018
warning about russia's extremely alarming behavior at the united nations conference on disarmament
without offering specifics the russian spacecraft should be able to capture high-resolution pictures
of the american satellite while it does its mission spying deep into rivals territory
musk said but the russian spacecraft's objective with the present mission is unknown
it's the equivalent of giving over a cutting-edge surveillance satellite to russian specialists
for forensic examination musk went on to say that the russian satellite's location might help them
figure out where the kh-11 is pointing and hence what ground targets it's photographing as well as
the overall operational schedule and use according to todd harrison director of the aerospace
security project at the center for strategic and international studies if russian satellites are
equipped with electronic emissions probes they could listen for radio frequency signals to try
to figure out how the kh-11 communicates and even intercept those communications which are likely
encrypted it may be doing some different things harrison explains it's possible they're just
practicing on orbit maneuvers or communicating to the us that they have this capability the keyhole
program is 44 years old and the satellites are well recognized to have capabilities similar
to those of the hubble telescope the united states china and other countries have previously
demonstrated their capacity to launch spacecraft into low earth orbit using their satellites
the kremlin might be signaling to the us that it has joined the club in a very visible way however
from musk's perspective approaching a foreign satellite for an inspection is nearly identical to
organizing an attack to damage disrupt or destroy it it's evident that russia is building on-orbit
capabilities to take advantage of our dependency on space-based technologies that power our way of
life however madd was subsequently backed up by a series of treaties and open lines of communication
aimed at preventing unintentional war escalation the united states russia and other countries have
yet to build a similar diplomatic organization for space and researchers fear that if they don't the
universe will be weaponized and a massive war will follow which none of us actually want musk adds
space weapons have progressed from science fiction to reality in the last decade but until then the
privacy of you me or each country is getting compromised okay folks that's it for today's
