After a 30-minute walk and a short boat ride to his school in a distant part of southern Chile, Diego Guerrero can finally get on the internet. His school is in the small village of Sotomo, around 1,000 kilometers south of capital Santiago. Just 20 families live there. The town can only be reached by boat. Now, it is one of two places in Chile chosen for a new project to receive free internet for a year. The project is run by billionaire Elon Musk, chief executive of SpaceX. Starlink, a part of SpaceX, aims to send out 12,000 satellites as part of a network to provide internet services around the world, The plan is important for getting the money that SpaceX needs to pay for Musk’s dream of developing a new rocket that can fly paying people to the moon and to try to colonize Mars.
