SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, aims to colonize Mars by 2050, planning to send a million people. To support this, SpaceX is developing a Starlink Mega constellation of satellites around Earth to provide global low-cost broadband Internet.

This network will also establish a robust communication link between Mars and Earth, creating an interplanetary Internet bridge. This ambitious plan reflects Musk's commitment to space exploration and connectivity.
