From Florida Today for September 1, 2016:

Destroyed satellite was to help Facebook in Africa

Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, reacted today to news of a SpaceX rocket explosion. In a Facebook message, he said that the destroyed rocket was to carry a satellite to help Facebook connectivity across the African continent. The message:

"As I'm here in Africa, I'm deeply disappointed to hear that SpaceX's launch failure destroyed our satellite that would have provided connectivity to so many entrepreneurs and everyone else across the continent.

"Fortunately, we have developed other technologies like Aquila that will connect people as well. We remain committed to our mission of connecting everyone, and we will keep working until everyone has the opportunities this satellite would have provided."

Well he seems to have all the DARPA guys in China he needs, maybe he just considers one rocket blowing us just a bump in the road.

I’m sure Elon has hooked him up with another one.

Scumbag should have all his assets taken and be in jail.
