Elon Musk: Buying Starlink Helps Make Life Multiplanetary

Elon Musk: I'd like to thank everyone who has bought Starlink, because you're helping to make life multiplanetary.

“You can't just go straight to Mars. You have to create this elliptical orbit with Earth at one point and Mars at the other side at the far end of the ellipse. And then time where you are in that ellipse to intersect with Mars and this is how you do orbital transfer from Earth to Mars.

If you look on your Starlink Wi-Fi router, you'll see this image because Starlink Internet is what's being used to pay for humanity getting to Mars. I'd just like to thank everyone out there who has bought Starlink because you're helping secure the future of civilization and helping make life multiplanetary and helping make humanity a space-faring civilization. Thank you.”
