A massive technical failure on July 24, 2025, disrupted internet services for over 6 million Starlink users worldwide. The outage, caused by a core software error, lasted about two and a half hours and affected regions including the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Military operations and emergency services were also impacted, raising concerns about Starlink’s system resilience. Elon Musk apologized, but experts emphasize the need for structural upgrades in redundancy and disaster recovery to prevent future incidents in satellite-based internet infrastructure.
