Elon Musk’s Starlink May Potentially Revolutionize Healthcare

One of Elon Musk's relatively recent and most successful ventures is SpaceX, an advanced aerospace technology company with a mission of “Making Humanity Multiplanetary.” The company has celebrated some incredible milestones thus far, from its successful transportation of astronauts into space, to its valiant strides in making rocket technology reusable, and therefore, more cost-efficient.

One interesting sub-division of SpaceX is Starlink, which is Musk's venture into increasing global connectivity. Starlink's mission is to use a global network of low Earth orbit satellites to eventually “deliver high speed broadband internet to locations where access has been unreliable, expensive, or completely unavailable.” While satellite internet itself is not a novel concept, most of the traditional systems use dated technology that have far less capabilities with regards to internet speed, connectivity, and sustainability. Starlink's goal is to provide high-speed broadband internet, using cutting-edge satellite systems that will also not add to the space pollution created by traditional systems. As of now, the company states that it “is targeting service in the Northern U.S. and Canada in 2020, rapidly expanding to near global coverage of the populated world by 2021.”
