The satellite was part of CEO Mark Zuckerberg's plan to bring internet service to areas of areas of sub-Saharan Africa, according to the Orlando Sentinel. |

No way would there be an engine test 3 days before a scheduled launch just to break everything down and roll it back into the hanger to load the payload and get it back out to the pad. |

SpaceX has had a good run for a while. Rockets are extremely complicated machines, more than most people realize. Hopefully no one was hurt and SpaceX can use this to learn how to make their machines better.
Kind of an expensive mistake, but that's the business  |

Remember when they made that video with inspirational music and everyone's reaction when they had that successful launch and landing? Well they should make a video with appropriate music and people's reactions to this launch. That would be fun.
