Elon Musk: Starlink could be online before 2021 Unlisted Video

SpaceX stumbled at the first hurdle with its recent attempt to launch 60 satellites into space — which wound up being pushed back a day due to bad weather, and then called off yet again. It was an unfortunately inauspicious start for Elon Musk’s Starlink project, which aims to rain down internet from the heavens, courtesy of 12,000 satellites. “For the system to be economically viable, it’s really on the order of 1,000 satellites,” Musk said during a recent phone call with reporters.
