Elon Musk wants to cover the world with internet from space 

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/nov/17/elon-musk-satellites-internet-spacex


The story talks about how Elon Musks company Tesla is planning to employ 4,000 satellites in space

  • Musk said in January 2015 that the plan would cost at least $10bn.
  • Measuring 4m by 1.8 by 1.2m and weighing 386kg. 
  • US government to operate a massive network of 4,425 satellites

I believe that this innovation will be very beneficial to the world due to the fact that people will have access to the internet when they need it which is useful as any information people are restricted from obtaining are able to do so because they now have access.The world we live in can have internet where ever you are. There's been no date for the release of the satellite itself but it is said to be that it would orbit in a range between 714 miles and 823 miles above the Earth
