SpaceX’s Starlink will be available on most aircraft soon, said Elon Musk. The technology will be available for use by any operator if it is ordered.

Some operators provide an internet connection during airplane flights. However, if you try to use it, you will most likely encounter a problem. The problem with most in-flight internet offerings is speed and connectivity. Airplanes connected to the antenna receive signals from communications towers on the ground as they fly overhead. This limits the availability of internet: it becomes unstable, difficult to connect to, and the actual speed reaches no more than about 10 Mbps. That is why satellite internet can offer a number of benefits, and SpaceX’s Starlink will soon do just that.

Currently, Starlink has a constellation of about 5,000 satellites in low Earth orbit and plans to increase this to 42,000 in the future. This is significantly more than all other companies combined. For example, Viasat, which provides in-flight internet service to JetBlue, United Airlines, and American Airlines, operates a fleet of four satellites, according to The Street.

A University of Portsmouth physicist has explored whether a new law of physics could support the much-debated theory that we are simply characters in an advanced virtual world.

The simulated hypothesis proposes that what humans experience is actually an artificial reality, much like a computer simulation, in which they themselves are constructs.

The theory is popular among a number of well-known figures including Elon Musk, and within a branch of science known as information , which suggests is fundamentally made up of bits of information.

JAXA and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) have joined forces to design and develop the new launcher.

The reusable rockets are poised to be a game-changer technology in the modern era of space exploration. Elon Musk’s SpaceX took the lead in showcasing the effectiveness of reusable rockets, thus establishing a model for other companies and space agencies to follow in advancing this technology.

Now, Japan is working towards incorporating this technology into its future space transportation programs.

Top executives were evaluated on the number of “I” statements they made in speeches.

Regarding intelligence, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg takes the cake compared to Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk. While Zuckerberg came in 9th out of the 50 CEOs who were evaluated, Musk found himself in the 16th position in the order of ranks.

The most intelligent CEO in America is Demis Hassabis of DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google. “Hassabis, known for his dual expertise as an AI researcher and neuroscientist, has enriched his public discourses with a unique blend of knowledge,” said Preply, the online tutoring firm that came up with the list.
