An unfortunate user of Space Exploration Technologies Corp.'s (SpaceX) Starlink satellite internet service who had his house struck by lightning in Michigan has been offered a new satellite dish free of charge. The user shared these details on the social media platform Reddit yesterday and was initially told by SpaceX that he would have to pay the company for a replacement. However, SpaceX then changed its mind and contacted him to state that they would offer a replacement user terminal free of charge.

The unfortunate Starlink user dish belonged to Reddit user Coryhero, who shared the details of his experience on the social media platform. These reveal that his house in Michigan was struck by lightning earlier this week in an unfortunate event that resulted in several expensive electronics items in the residence being destroyed. The dish itself was not struck directly by lightning, so the terminal itself was not damaged, based on what we've gathered.
