‘Musk vs Bezos’ Sells Across Europe as Java Films Attends Unifrance Rendez-Vous

Ed Meza @edmezavar “Musk vs Bezos: The New Star Wars,” about the space race between the two richest men in the world, is attracting plenty of attention from broadcasters in Europe, where new TV documentary has secured multiple sales. Commissioned by France 5 from French documentary production shingle Magneto, “Musk vs Bezos” examines the intense competition between Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Jeff Bezo’s Blue Origin as they vie for the top spot in the U.S.’s burgeoning space travel business and the potential consequences for the world if the two billionaires develop the capacity to monopolize all future terrestrial communications. “When Musk first tried to buy a Russian rocket back in 2001, the chief engineer of the Russian Space Agency thought it was a joke,” Java Films notes. “By 2008 SpaceX had a contract with NASA to supply flights to the International Space Station.”

International Space Station to crash into Earth's 'space graveyard' in 2031, NASA says
NASA is planning to crash International Space Station (ISS) in a remote ocean area within the next decade.The Huston-based space agency is considering bringing the spacecraft down into a so-called 'space graveyard' in 2031.The International Space Station was launched back in 1998 and has seen 244 astronauts and space tourists visit since it settled in Earth's orbit.However, the 24-year-old spacecraft is getting old and unsustainable to repair so a NASA report has declared that it will only be able to "operate it safely through 2030."US President Biden has committed to keeping it operational for the next eight years but after that, it will need to be brought down safely before it becomes dangerous.If it is left in low Earth orbit it could crash into satellites creating dangerous space junk, which experts are already wary of.But the plan is to slowly lower the space station's altitude from its current spot 408km above the ground until the Earth's atmosphere will pull it in closer and faster, before crashing into the sea in an area known as Point Nemo, which is Latin for "no one".The remote region is around 4,000 metres deep and the furthest point from any inhabited area of land, making it the ideal spot to crash defunct rockets and satellites.The site has seen hundreds of spacecraft being laid to rest thereby Nasa and other space agencies since it was first used in 1971.For more shocking stories from the Daily Star, make sure you sign up for one of our newsletters here.In the future, private firms such as Elon Musk's SpaceX and Jeff Bezo's Blue Origin will do the work of the space station in the future.Director of Commercial Space, Phil McAlister said: "The private sector is technically and financially capable of
