A New Zealand lawmaker has asked SpaceX chief Elon Musk to help Tonga restore connectivity after Saturday’s massive volcanic eruption severed the only cable connecting it to the internet.
Musk has yet to reply to Reti’s request, which he sent on Monday. “I guess Elon Musk can only say no and if you don’t ask you don’t know,” the lawmaker said in a message accompanying the letter. A ship with repair equipment is preparing to set sail from Papua New Guinea, but it’s not expected to reach Tonga until early February, according to the New York Times.
