SpaceX’s Starlink service is back online after a global outage Thursday. Users reported the service went down around 3:15 pm EDT (1915 GMT), and was offline for users around the world for about two and a half hours. SpaceX said that a “failure of key internal software services that operate the core network” caused the outage but did not provide further details. The outage was one of the longest for Starlink, which has more than six million customers worldwide, since beginning commercial service.
