SpaceX, the company helmed by Elon Musk, announced a new effort Thursday calledStarlink Maritime.
The service will cost $10,000 upfront for the hardware, and then pay-as-you-go at $5,000 per month.
That may seem steep, but if you own a boat it’s probably a steal.
Which is probably why Musk,the world’s richest person, was so excited to announce it.

“Starlink for boats!
SpaceX’s move into boating connectivity marks the latest expansion for Musk’s high-profile spacefaring venture.
Starlink also began offeringinternet for RVs earlier this year.
It expects to cover the rest of the seas by sometime in early 2023.
Musk tweeted last year that the company had shipped100,000 Starlink receiver terminals to customers.
