This is gonna get ugly pretty soon. I'm pretty convinced it's less an issue of moving (which esa itself stated it does once every week to two weeks) and more of politics. A couple possibilities: * europe mad at America b/c trade * europe mad at American companies beating european ones to space and getting more of the limited orbit spots first * europe mad she wasn't really asked before SpaceX put up satellites * europe has a principal objection to the idea of private companies playing on the same level as the bureaucrats or an issue with corps occupying space at all Most likely, it's a combination of all of the above. Regardless, people will start getting awfully catty about this, and it's possible knocking some one else's satellite out of the sky could be a serious issue.
