Several minutes have been cut from about 10 minutes. We hope for SpaceX to have a quick recovery to flight. Ask for permission before using or cutting. Sharing in the original version is fine

Took about 12 seconds for the sound to get to the microphone, which is a bit more than two miles.

It’s good news that no one was injured. They ALL could have become single molecules instantaneously.
To: Steely Tom
It blowed up real good.

First fire/explosion was up high. Not near the engines themselves.
Have they confirmed the satellite was onboard? Looks like there was a shroud that fell and exploded after the first blast.

"The rocket was carrying a satellite to be used by Facebook (FB, Tech30) to bring internet access to Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.
Facebook is in a partnership with French satellite firm Eutelsat Communications. The satellite, called Amos 6, was owned by Israeli company Spacecom." http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/01/news/companies/spacex-explosion/

Okay, so what were they trying to do, and why were they doing it with the payload on board?
