Is this real or fake new? Misdirection on behalf of the Trump administration? If real, the taxpayer takes another one up the a**.

Musk... Must have been that piece of crap electric car he added to the payload.

I’m sure Musk will get paid regardless. The losers will be US taxpayers and some insurance company.

The car will be atop the Falcon Heavy for its first launch sometime soon. This lost launch was with the standard Falcon launch platform.

Sabotage?
Or maybe it was successful but this is a false story to fool the parties that the satellite was to observe into thinking it is not up there?
To: bkopto
Is this real or fake new? Misdirection on behalf of the Trump administration? These were my very first thoughts, also. There is a war going on, and we won't know most of its details until it's over.

According to Musk, he’s sending this same rocket to orbit the moon later on this year with humans on board... And considering that he and his company Tesla will soon be embroiled in civil and maybe even criminal actions before the courts, he will likely be the first volunteer.

We should have stuck with the Delta.
To: bkopto
Yes. From the reports its difficult to say whether the satellite was lost or they are just letting us to speculate for security reasons.
Yep, lost all my guns in that deep sea fishing mishap.

I would say misdirection. If it really failed there wouldn’t have been a peep about it.
To: Slicksadick
That’s what I’m thinking. Make everybody think the mission failed to increase the element of surprise.
To: Governor Dinwiddie
Apparently the Falcon worked fine and the failure was something after. I have my doubts though of course, no telling what happened. Could be just fine and any number of outcomes.
To: Always A Marine
Sky Fortress perhaps? Was this supposed to happen or did it mess up Q’s plans?

What satellite?
That was a test deployment of the new General Electric Oven
To see how it holds up in the cold of space!
