Starlink has proven itself in the harshest conditions in Ukraine. When nothing else worked, Starlink worked. Countless people have told me stories of how it has saved their life. Over & over they asked me to send a big thank you to @elonmusk, SpaceX, and to the American people.

Starlink was designed to be a civilian programme, but the Ukrainian military used it to guide drones and strike Russian tanks and positions.
According to British media, Ukraine’s army made excellent use of Starlink for drone attacks on Russian tanks and positions.
Starlink, SpaceX’s internet satellite system, will soon be able to beam high-speed broadband to users all over the world.
On Sunday, the company launched 46 more Starlink satellites into orbit, this time over the coldest and most remote parts of the planet.
The new satellites will assist SpaceX in covering Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and the Nordic countries.
