Elon Musk showed only 60 of the first "Internet-Changing" SpaceX satellites

Elon Musk just gave us the first look at the rocket firm's bold plan to bring ultra-high speed internet to the world.

Musk tweeted a picture of 60 satellites wrapped in SpaceX's Falcon rocket Saturday with fresh details of the global satellite network gambit.

SpaceX is now planning to launch the rocket on Wednesday, says Musk, promising more information then.

It is planned between 10:30 and 12:00 ET Wednesday night (0230 and 0400 UTC Thursday), on board 230-foot numbers (70 meters high) Falcon 9 rocket.

"Much will probably go wrong on the first mission," Musk tweeted .

The Starlink satellites, as they are called, are part of Musk's plans to build an unprecedented network of spacecraft.

Musk first announced the idea in 2015 and aims to build a fleet of almost 12,000 satellites. SpaceX has hit fundraising in preparation for it and another profiled project.

If the iconoclastic contractor meets their goals, internet users around the world could see download and upload speeds around 40 times faster than average, wherever they live.

Musk and Space X have not said how much they would charge for the service, Business Insider previously reported, but the goal is to keep prices low and best competing and similar networks like OneWeb or Jeff Bezos Project Kuiper.

This will not be SpaceX's first launch of the satellites. The fast-track company previously launched two of the experimental satellites in late February.

However, the satellites called Tintin A and Tintin B were experimental satellites, and the latter is production design Musk said on Saturday.

Musk also shared a game plan for SpaceX ahead.

To get less internet coverage, 6 more launches needed 60 [satellites are] says Musk, while moderate coverage would require 12. SpaceX has said it aims to get internet coverage available by 2020.

As a Twitter user noted in response to Musk, six additional launches of 60 satellites come to 420 satellites in total. Musk was famously fined US $ 20 million by the SEC to claim that he could take Tesla publicly at US $ 420 per share.

"It * may not be my lucky number," Musk joked .

. ] Although the first Starlink launch will take place on a Falcon rocket, the company has worked for years with an ambitious launch system called Starship.

Musk said he will announce new details about the two-stage vehicle around June 20, but his previous statements indicate that it may be at most 120 meters high, be fully reusable, and perhaps perhaps 150 tons of cargo in orbit.

If Starship becomes operational in the early 2020s, as Musk hopes it will, spacecraft may be able to distribute hundreds of Starlink satellites at a time instead of dozens.

Moreover, a starship designed for people may be ready to launch them into the moon and perhaps Mars.
