SpaceX_Satellite_Google_Global_Internet


It has been confirmed that Google and Fidelity are investing a total of $1 billion into Elon Musk’s space transportation company, SpaceX. This investment gives both Google and Fidelity just under 10% ownership of SpaceX, which is valued at over $10 billion.


Google wants to use SpaceX satellites to send internet to those areas that have either no or poor access. This could cover as much as 3 billion people. These satellites will not only provide internet access, but also at much faster speeds.



The bad news is that it could take as much as 5 years for this to go live. The cost of the project will be $10 billion, and according to Musk, this investment might be enough to get the first satellites off the ground.
