Elon Musk's SpaceX has made remarkable advancements in satellite technology, launching over 7,000 satellites to create the Starlink satellite internet network. This rapid deployment surpasses all other entities, reminiscent of historical moments like the Sputnik launch by Sergei Korolev. Musk's vision extends beyond Earth connectivity; he envisions satellite communication networks for future colonies on Mars and other celestial bodies, as evidenced by explicit terms in Starlink's user agreement hinting at sovereignty in space. This unprecedented dominance foreshadows future changes in how we access and utilize space communications.
When he first announced his intention to build a space-based internet in 2015, Musk aimed not just to connect Earth, but to enable communication for future colonies on Mars and beyond.
Musk's company, SpaceX, has launched over 7,000 satellites into orbit, far exceeding the number operated by all other private companies and nations combined.
