CAPE CANAVERAL – Elon Musk’s space company SpaceX has lost about 40 satellites in one fell swoop. Shortly after launch, they hit the edge of the atmosphere in a so-called geomagnetic storm. If they haven’t already perished, they will soon. SpaceX now reports that the satellites pose no threat and that no debris will fall to Earth.
