Brazilian documentarian and activist Maihara Marjorie began visiting the Amazon in 2012.
She quickly realized what had been portrayed about this part of the world by the media wasn’t authentic to her experiences there. She began using Starlink during her trips to document her explorations of these remote places and her interactions with Indigenous Peoples, sharing them to social media in real time. Maihara believes “connectivity is a privilege” and hopes this technology becomes more widely available to the local people so they can use their own voice to share their message with the world.
2024 Progress Report
In just over five years, SpaceX designed, deployed, and activated high-quality internet, which is now available for over 2.8 billion people around the world, including for those who live in some of the most remote places on Earth.
This progress report highlights several remote communities where Starlink is providing fast, reliable, and affordable internet. Rural school districts, counties, and tribal governments are now able to offer online access to education, telemedicine, and many other critical services—in some cases, for the first time ever.
