Starlink provides internet service in remote places using satellites and ground terminals. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Automobiles aren\u2019t an advertised use case for Starlink service, although it would make for a sweet addition to any RV. SpaceX has attached dishes to rocket-recovery vessels and is in talks with airlines to equip planes with Starlink internet service, but those uses don\u2019t require obstructing the view while navigating. <\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<script type=\"text\/plain\">\n\t\t\twindow.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tadSlotsConfig.push( {\n\t\t\t\tslotID: '\/1049447\/Outbrain',\n\t\t\t\tslotName: 'div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-15523',\n\t\t\t\tsizes: [300, 250],\n\t\t\t\tslotPosition: 'mid_article'\n\t\t\t} );\n\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignwide is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler\">\n<span style=\"vertical-align: bottom; width: 552px; height: 571px;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" name=\"fe901982172fecfa6\" width=\"552px\" height=\"1000px\" data-testid=\"fb:post Facebook Social Plugin\" title=\"fb:post Facebook Social Plugin\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/v2.3\/plugins\/post.php?app_id=249643311490&amp;channel=https%3A%2F%2Fstaticxx.facebook.com%2Fx%2Fconnect%2Fxd_arbiter%2F%3Fversion%3D46%23cb%3Df82c6501caa28a0ac%26domain%3Dspaceexplored.com%26is_canvas%3Dfalse%26origin%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fspaceexplored.com%252Ff44970cb4c19220a0%26relation%3Dparent.parent&amp;container_width=552&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FCHPAntelopeValley%2Fposts%2F4704883919562997&amp;locale=en_US&amp;sdk=joey&amp;width=552\" style=\"border: none; visibility: visible; width: 552px; height: 571px;\" class=\"\"><\/iframe><\/span><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-space-explored-s-take\">Space Explored\u2019s take<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think it\u2019s fair to say we got nothing this time.
