SpaceX founder Elon Musk chose Seattle for the headquarters for the space Internet project after the $1 billion investment from Google and Fidelity.
Once the plan pushes through, SpaceX will be joining aerospace company Blue Origin and asteroid mining firm Planetary Resources in a Puget Sound space hub, according to the Seattle Times.
The plan comes after a large collective $ 1 billion investment from the California-based Google and Boston-based Fidelity Investments in Musk's SpaceX. The said investment, which gives Google and Fidelity around 10 percent of SpaceX, is expected to be used for developing satellites that will provide Internet access from space to unreachable areas across the globe.
Musk also has other plans besides the space Internet project, he is also planning for a Hyperloop Transportation System, the first test track of which will be based in Texas.
In addition, Musk is also busy in dishing out updates for the Tesla Motors electronic vehicles, including the Roadster and the Model S.
Musk, who also founded PayPal, will be playing a fictionalized version of himself in an upcoming episode of the hit animated series "The Simpsons," Business Week reported.
The Tesla CEO will be in the episode "The Musk Who Fell to Earth," where he will be landing in the town of Springfield and meet Homer Simpson.
Musk's technological ideas will be featured in the episode, including the already-existing electronic cars and the Hyperloop Transportation System. The show's runner Al Jean told Business Week that there will be a few jokes aimed at Musk, including one where Bart Simpson guesses his password:"MUSKRULZ".
The episode will air on Jan. 25, Sunday.
