China's Laser Satellite Test Sets Speed Record; Dispels Attack Rumors

Scientists in China have successfully used a weak laser to send data from a satellite really far away, setting a new speed record.

The laser moved data five times faster than what's typically seen on Starlink.

Despite rumors, the laser wasn't used to attack or destroy anything; it was just for sending information.

The experiment used smart technology to make sure the signal stayed clear.

US officials are watching closely because China is also developing weapons that could target satellites.

This new technology might change how we use satellites in the future.
