SpaceX Falcon explodes, destroys satellite for Facebook project
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
An unmanned SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket exploded on the launch pad during a test in Florida on Thursday, destroying a satellite that Facebook planned to use to beam high-speed internet to Africa. The accident — the second of its kind since SpaceX was founded in 2002 — comes just over a year after a Falcon 9 rocket failed after liftoff on June 28, 2015, destroying a Dragon cargo capsule bound for the International Space Station (ISS). The blast though it caused no injuries marks a setback for the California-based private space firm and its founder, internet entrepreneur Elon Musk, who wants to revolutionize the launch industry by making rocket components reusable. Dramatic footage broadcast by ABC News showed the rocket burst into a roaring ball of flame amid what appeared to be a succession of blasts — sending its payload tumbling to the ground as a dense plume of black smoke filled the air. Elon Musk tweeted. “Originated around upper stage oxygen tank. Cause still unknown. More soon.” Newzstreet TV Videos - Dedicated to bringing you the latest and best in politics, sports, current affairs and entertainment world.

explosion wasn't caused by James Bond was it? seems just slightly Bond villain-ish to launch your own satellite

Better footage is available at New Atlas website. It shows an object hit the rocket, seemingly causing it to explode. (at 1:10) It comes out of the top right of the screen ata phenomenal rate and smacks that rocket right where the first bit explodes off the rocket. This video has been doctored to exclude the object. No bullshit that was attacked by something.
