Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, wants to fund his dreams of colonizing Mars by offering internet services.
Musk founded a satellite internet company named Starlink. They are deploying a low latency, broadband internet system which consists of surrounding Earth with a megaconstellation of over 12,000 satellites that will beam low-latency, high-speed internet. The Starlink company aims to provide affordable internet all over the world and believe their internet will be so powerful that it will benefit places where there is no internet connectivity, and where existing services are not reliable.
"We need 360 to 400 to have a constant connectivity where the satellites can end up through the ground talking to each other. Once we get to 1,200 satellites, we will have coverage of the whole globe.
-PresidentPresident of SpaceX, G. Shotwell
