After the success of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, that launched on Feb. 6th, the program has been approved on a plan for a network of internet satellites. The Federal Communications Commission has endorsed the use of the SpaceX program to create a network of satellites that will bring internet access to areas of the country that are in need of service.
