I trust Musk a little more with something like this than Google or Facebook, but I'm not sure what he'd do when he'd be confronted by the NSA, especially when his SpaceX is so tied to government contracts.

- grey-area 12y agoYou can assume at this point that any significant communications network like this has traffic recorded by at least FVEY and probably other agencies too. They could probably intercept traffic leaving ground stations, even if the company didn't want them to. If that's important to you (say you're a lawyer, accountant, doctor, business, politician, judge, journalist etc ;), you'd be better to use encryption than worry about the network layer which you have no control over.
