United Airlines announced that it signed an agreement with Elon Musk's SpaceX to bring its Starlink internet service to its entire fleet

United Airlines said Friday that it plans to offer inflight Wi-Fi for free using Starlink from Elon Musk’s SpaceX on its hundreds of jetliners, the biggest inflight internet deal yet for the satellite service provider.

The carrier has stuck a deal with Elon Musk’s SpaceX, eventually resulting in free in-flight Wi-Fi on all planes via its Starlink satellite internet service. Rolling out Starlink to the entire fleet, however, is expected to take several years.

The Federal Aviation Administration alleged Tuesday that SpaceX violated its launch license requirements on two occasions last year by using an unauthorized launch control center and fuel farm at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Space X’s Starlink satellites are blinding radio telescopes and risk crippling vital research into the universe, astronomers have warned. New footage from the Low Frequency Array (Lofar) radio telescope shows that satellites can be clearly seen as bright spots moving continuously across the field of view.
