SpaceX sent the Pentagon a letter asking for funding for Starlink service in Ukraine
Last week the Pentagon revealed that SpaceX sent a letter concerning its contribution of Starlink mobile internet systems to Ukraine. The letter relays the message that providing this critical service to the Ukrainians, especially the Ukrainian military, is expensive. SpaceX asks the Department of Defense to pick up the mounting costs of the satellite system.
Elon Musk heroically came through for the people of Ukraine when Putin invaded the country and internet service was disrupted. The satellites provide invaluable information for Ukraine’s military operations. Starlink also enables civilian Ukrainian residents the ability to stay connected to the outside world.
