The Future of Space-Based Internet and Solar Powered Airplanes by Elon Musk
2022 projections and projects by Elon Musk
Elon Musk
Elon Musk is one of the most impressive entrepreneurs alive. He has revolutionized the automotive industry with Tesla, the solar power industry with SolarCity, and space exploration with SpaceX. Over the years, he has created innovative companies and changed entire industries. And now he’s working on building a new type of Internet that will be brought to us by satellites.
Elon Musk’s secret 2022 plan for his company SpaceX is to solve Earth’s problems by deploying one or more satellites that would provide high-speed internet access anywhere around the world. This plan is still in its early stages, so it’s difficult to say what the company will do to achieve this goal. But it seems like they are on their way there!

For years, we’ve been reliant on satellites to provide internet access. But the problem has always been latency. That’s because when a satellite is up in space, it takes a little time for information to reach Earth and vice versa.
