Company purposing Internet service for all human being

• Starlink satellites rely on lasers to communicate with one another, allowing data sharing to be more efficient.

• SpaceX has a Starlink Mars independent statement. On its official website, it states that Mars is a free planet; no Earth-based government has authority over Martian activities.

• SpaceX's Starlink uses the open-source Linux OS (operating system). This is because the Linux OS is easier to customize compared to other operating systems.

• Starlink is already available in Antarctica, proving that it can reach the most remote parts of the world.

• The U.S. military conducted a live-fire exercise involving SpaceX's Starlink satellites. During this military activity, the U.S. military assets shot down a cruise missile and drone with the help of Starlink's data sharing.
