SpaceXAI President Michael Nicolls explains why SpaceX started Starlink:

To connect humanity

Before Starlink, roughly a third of the world was offline or lacked reliable broadband

SpaceX set out to solve that problem from orbit

Now Starlink has grown into the largest satellite constellation in history...bringing internet to most underserved communities and some of the most remote places on Earth, giving people the opportunity to connect to the global network and fundamentally transforming lives
