NgoLwesibili kusihlwa, isikhulu se-SpaceX u-Elon Musk uye ku-Twitter ukuze aphawule ngezinhlelo ze-Amazon zokwethula amasathelayithi angu-3236 ku-orbit ukuze anikeze ukufinyelela kwe-inthanethi ngesivinini esikhulu ezindaweni ezikude zomhlaba. Le phrojekthi yaqanjwa ngekhodi ethi "Project Kuiper".
U-Musk uthumele i-tweet ngaphansi kombiko we-MIT Tech mayelana ne-“Project Kuiper” emaka u-@JeffBezos (uJeff Bezos, i-Amazon CEO) kanye negama elilodwa kuphela - “ikhophi”, wengeza i-emoji yekati (okungukuthi, igama elithi copycat liphenduke ikhophi) .
Iqiniso liwukuthi inkampani yangasese yasemkhathini i-SpaceX, eholwa nguMusk, isebenza kuphrojekthi efanayo. Ingxenye ye-SpaceX's Starlink isivele ithole imvume ngoNovemba odlule evela ku-US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ukuthi yethule amasathelayithi angu-7518 ngomgomo ofanayo wokuhlinzeka nge-inthanethi enesivinini esiphezulu emagumbini akude omhlaba. Ngokucabangela imvume ekhishwe yi-FCC ngoMashi, i-SpaceX inelungelo lokwethula amasathelayithi ayi-11 ku-orbit. NgoFebhuwari walo nyaka, inkampani yethula amasathelayithi amabili okuhlola i-Tintin-A kanye ne-Tintin-B ku-Earth orbit ohlelweni lwe-Starlink.
NgeSonto eledlule, i-CNBC ibike ukuthi i-Amazon iqashe owayengumongameli we-SpaceX wezokuxhumana ngesathelayithi u-Rajeev Badyal we-Starlink ukuhola i-Project Kuiper. Lona nguBadyal ofanayo, owaxoshwa u-Musk ngoJuni 2018, phakathi kwenani labaphathi abaphezulu, ngenxa yejubane elincane kakhulu lenqubekelaphambili yephrojekthi yokwethula amasathelayithi e-Starlink.
Ubuhlobo phakathi kuka-Musk no-Bezos abufudumele ikakhulukazi, njengoba behlala "belinganisa amandla" futhi bashintshanisa ama-barbs.
Isibonelo, ngo-2015, u-Bezos ngokuziqhenya ubhale ku-Twitter mayelana nokwethulwa kwe-rocket evela enkampanini yakhe yangasese ye-aerospace, i-Blue Origin. Ikakhulukazi, akazange afihle iqiniso lokuthi wayejabule ukwethulwa ngempumelelo kanye nokufika yimpumelelo New Shepard rocket. "Izilwane eziyivelakancane ziyi-rocket esetshenzisiwe," kuphawula uBezos.
Ngokushesha uMusk “wafaka amasenti akhe amabili.” “Hhayi lokho 'okungavamile'. Irokhethi ye-SpaceX Grasshopper yaqeda izindiza ezi-6 ezingaphansi kweminyaka emi-3 edlule futhi isekhona,” esho ehleka.
