After the success of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, that launched on Feb. 6th, the program has been approved on a plan for a network of internet satellites. The Federal Communications Commission has endorsed the use of the SpaceX program to create a network of satellites that will bring internet access to areas of the country that are in need of service. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said, “Satellite technology can help reach Americans who live in rural or hard-to-serve places where fiber optic cables and cell towers do not reach.
