More from the second link; [link to www.digitaltrends.com (secure)] (snip) The project is expected to cost around $10 billion in total. The road ahead To give you a sense of just how formidable a challenge this is, here are some numbers: There are currently only 1,459 satellites currently in orbit around earth, along with 2,600 inactive. SpaceX will need to launch 4,425 satellites into orbit to achieve its desired coverage. That’s going to require a lot of rockets, a lot of fuel, and a lot of money. The project is ambitious to say the least, but the payoff will presumably be immense. Imagine having blazing fast internet available all the time, no matter if you’re were in the middle of a crowded city or deep in the Amazonian jungle.

Musk will cut the cost of the satellites by 90%. He'll launch swarms of small mini satellites with the same power as the big ones. When they burn up on reentry in ten years, or fail, he'll send another 1000 on a single rocket. When you are afraid of losing your life, you have already lost your life. Don't be afraid. |

You won't need a data connection as long as you get the satellite signal. |
