Taking down evil one rocket at a time.
beat me to the punch!
So apparently a SpaceX Falcon9 blew up during pre-launch fire test
Payload is dead just like the rocket. No casualties. A building nearby had it's windows broken from the explosion.

We Musk not get too discouraged with private space flights. We Musk continue on.
Why do I feel like this was probably done on purpose?
"It is a feature." -Elon Musk
C o n s p i r a c y
"Elon our rocket blew up"
"Shit whats the damage?"
"Well the rocket is gone but it also took out Facebooks new satellite"
"Oh nooo oh oh oh ah ah buahahaha
The rocket's been obviously designed to self-destruct in vicinity of hostile objects.
I see things like this and every time I think "Perhaps that's why Musk has that perpetual smirk..."
Wonder if SJW will sue for environmental pollution.
Quick, get spaceX to load up Tumblr's first satellite! That'll show them!
Well at least the African people have to wait to see Facebook porn lol.
The satellite probably interfered with the commands sent to the rocket, so it didn't get the latest instructions but the most popular....
you dont turn the satellite on when the rocket is going...
And you are not using facebook a lot.
When I've seen the gif of the explosion i was like "oh fuck I hope it was*n't important scientific equipment launched in there" and then you got me the good news it was only a facebook satellite so yeah, no scientific progress have been inhibited.
