Elon Musk retweeted an official statement from Starlink, announcing that the company’s team is actively exploring avenues for extending high-speed connectivity beyond Earth.
“The Starlink team is exploring ways to expand capabilities beyond our planet,” was the concise statement made on the Starlink account. The post was accompanied by several images and videos showcasing future space internet technologies.
Elon Musk has repeatedly emphasized the necessity for humanity to become a multi-planetary species to ensure its long-term survival. Starlink has already demonstrated its effectiveness on Earth, with thousands of satellites providing rapid internet access in the most remote areas.
Currently, the company is developing laser inter-satellite links and orbital constellations around the Moon. Such systems will enable data transmission with minimal latency, which is crucial for manned missions, remote equipment operation, and the daily lives of future settlers.
