Musk is trying to seize control of the future internet space market and has already sent about 300 Starlink satellites into orbit.

SpaceX founder Elon Musk on Monday dismissed scientists' concerns that his company's Starlink constellation of internet satellites would obscure the view of the night sky, predicting the network"will not cause any impact whatsoever in astronomical discoveries."

Speaking at a satellite internet conference in the capital Washington, Musk said his company had already taken measures to reduce their reflectivity. "I've not met someone who can tell me where all of them are," said Musk."So it can't be that big of a deal." Musk wouldn't be drawn on the cost to users, nor on precise speed, but said it would be enough to stream high definition movies and to play high-end video games without noticeable lag time.
