SpaceX rocket EXPLODES at Cape Canaveral...blowing up Facebook’s £150MILLION internet satellite

I thought the Customer was Israel. Now that I hear it's face book, and that they were just going to use it to spread their disease to other parts of the world that do not need it, now I don't feel so bad about it.

"...and shook buildings miles away."

It's exactly for this kind of reason that the only buildings around ARE miles away.

It’s still not clear that the satellite had been loaded prior to this test firing.
