from space as it prepares to launch its mobile phone service to customers this year with an aim to banish cellular dead zones worldwide.it had sent a post to Musk’s social media platform X through one of the company’s Direct to Cell satellites in space.

“This post was sent through a SpaceX Direct to Cell satellite in space,” the post read, which ended with an emoji of a satellite and had a timestamp of 1 a.m. EST.Longmier attached a picture of tree cover in a “small valley in the Santa Cruz Mountains” earlier in the day when the team had been exchanging direct messages on X.

It’s unclear whether Longmier’s post or the team’s DMs were also sent using the satellites or whether the SpaceX post was sent from the same location and under similarly forested conditions.the post “was made from a normal mobile phone straight to a SpaceX satellite, with no special equipment in between!”in response to Musk’s X post celebrating the milestone.
