Picture this: You're kicking back, watching one of those jaw-dropping SpaceX rockets launch into the cosmos, carrying astronauts or top-secret cargo to the space station. Yeah, that's the same SpaceX we're talking about today on Things Have Changed. They've been lighting up the skies and our feeds with a whopping 96 launches last year alone. Impressive, right?

But here's the kicker: even with all that rocket-fueled spectacle, we're left wondering, does all this bankroll Elon Musk's dream of an inter-planetary human?

Enter the game-changer: Starlink. Imagine thousands of tiny satellites zooming above us, bringing high-speed internet across the globe. In just a blink (A few years), Starlink's morphed into a giant slice of SpaceX's revenue, raking in nearly 40%.

And let's face it, in a world where the internet's as essential as the air we breathe, Starlink's looking to shake things up big time. So join us on Things Have Changed Podcast as we dive deep into the Starlink saga. It's more than just a tech tale; it's about connecting corners of the Earth that have been left in the digital shadows.
