Satellites Instead of Flight Attendants
Elon Musk has secured a deal for British Airways that could revolutionize the skies: Starlink onboard. Instead of struggling with slow airplane Wi-Fi, passengers can now surf the web at hyperspeed. Whether this means flight attendants will soon be replaced by satellites remains unclear.
British Airways emphasizes that the connection is "secure and stable." However, insiders suspect Musk secretly plans to turn the planes into orbital waystations for his Mars mission. "Why not?" says a spokesperson. "If passengers are already online, they might as well book their ticket to Mars."
Critics warn of a new era of digital dependency. "People used to read or sleep on planes," says an aviation expert. "Now they stare at their screens waiting for the next update from Elon." Is this the future of flying? One thing is certain: the clouds are becoming a data highway.
