Elon Musk’s SpaceX launches 60 more satellites for better global internet

In an attempt to secure better global coverage, Elon Musk’s company, SpaceX launched sixty more satellites as a part of the Starlink project to space. The compact flat-panel satellites are a part of almost a thousand satellites for program to provide better internet for the world. CEO Elon Musk wants to start service in the United States of America and Canada over the course of the next year. Last month, he had tweeted in celebration over the launch of the first batch of satellites.

"We still have a long way to go from tweets to 4K cat videos, but we are on our way. The Falcon has landed for the fourth time. These boosters are designed to be used 10 times. Let's turn it around for a fifth, guys," SpaceX Starlink engineer Lauren Lyons, said whilst launching. While the Starlink project is advanced enough to set tweets and basic messages, it needs further development in order to send graphics which consume more data.

Elon Musk hopes that the success of the Starlink project will provide insight into space and hence help with his mission of landing on Mars. One pro of the project is that the materials being used are much more economical than other projects hence providing consumers with cheaper and much more reliable broadband.
