These events are far more important than a lot of people realize. A big factor in space exploration is cost and what SpaceX is doing is reducing those cost by an enormous amount.

 

Also, and IMO, with people like Elon Musk who have a daring and positive vision plus the ability to make it happen there's hope for us humans.. To me he is the real life Zefram Cochrane ..

SpaceX and Elon Musk have definitely open up space travel to the masses and at an affordable cost. You're very correct on that, blazemonger. I'm really excited to see what the future of space exploration holds. :)

They're also looking at completely decimating the current cable/ISP dynamic going on.  They've started researching a more advanced satellite connection (not sure on specifics, I'm sure Google can help on that front).  

 

Anyway, seems like good news for folk who are off the beaten-path and whatnot.

Just for wow-factor: Goal is 17,000 satellites by 2020.
