Elon Musk’s internet service has taken another great stride after 57 more Starlink satellites were launched on Friday, August 7. Mr Musk has said Starlink needs to have about 800 satellites in orbit before it can begin to roll out initial services. But even if the company is not yet supplying internet yet, you can still see SpaceX’s physical work dotted across the night’s sky.
