Solstar Space Co. is striving to create a 'Space Wide Web' to connect everything in space, to everything on Earth. On April 29th, 2018, Solstar demonstrated the first commercial two-way data and wi-fi hotspot service in space and sent the first Tweet from space.

CEO Brian Barnett tells us why we need Wifi in space and how space tourism will be a major user of their service, the patent pending technology they are developing and how their first model ended up in the Smithsonian, how his persistent effort to land a job at NASA, led him to a rewarding career and spurred his entrepreneurial endeavors.
