Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX, is planning to build a space Internet with speeds that will rival fiber optics and connect millions without Internet connectivity. The space Internet would be a collection of satellites that orbit 750 miles from earth, much closer than the usually 22,000 miles that most communication satellites orbit at, and allow data packets to be sent from satellite to satellite faster than current switches and routers data packets have to traverse when being sent from point A to point B. Eventually Musk hopes his Internet satellites will be used to connect resident’s of Mars to the Earth’s Internet.
