Space X successfully launched Falcon 9 rocket with its first so-called ‘global internet’ satellites. The launch was broadcasted on Space X official YouTube channel.
If everything goes well, in 2024 the internet will be delivered to people around the globe through thousands of low-orbit satellites. They will be connected to each other by high-speed laser connection.
The cost of the project is more than $10 billion. The owner of the company – Elon Musk is intended to get $30 billion of the income by 2025. To do it he needs 40 million subscribers.
