SpaceX's mega constellation grows

Space X added to its mega constellation of satellites Monday - launching 60 into low altitude orbit.

The company hopes to begin providing high-speed internet service sometime this year to portions of the US and Canada.

Space X currently has 180 satellites in what it hopes will eventually be a fleet of at least 800 - providing reliable internet to every part of the world.

Not everyone is thrilled, though. The line of satellites is so bright that it can easily be seen from earth. Space X has applied a special coating to satellite this time around to see if it can prevent conflicts with astronomy equipment back here on the planet.
