'The cause of the blast is not clear and it is not known if anyone was hurt.
Nasa said SpaceX was test-firing a rocket which was due to take a
satellite into space this weekend.

Pictures from the scene show a huge plume of smoke rising above the
Cape Canaveral complex.
The force of the blast shook buildings several miles away.

Local emergency officials described the incident as a "catastrophic abort
during a static test fire".

In a tweet, the Brevard County Emergency Management Office said there
was no threat to the public.
SpaceX is seeking to create a new era of reusable rockets and affordable
private space travel and has used its Falcon-9 rocket to take supplies to
the International Space Station (ISS).'

WOW!
I guess the Israeli made Amos-6 satellite was designed to allow Facebook to provide wireless internet directly to smartphones in the Saharan part of Africa.
OK, now who in that part of the World Would NOT Want Their Brainwashed Followers To Have Access to Facebook or any Real World Internet?
May very well had been Sabotage! tinywhat

Quote:NASA says SpaceX was conducting a test firing of its pioneering unmanned rocket when disaster struck.

A series of explosions sent smoke and flames shooting through the sky and shook buildings miles away.

The blast took with it Facebook's first satellite costing the company a whopping £150 million.

SpaceX - founded by PayPal and Tesla tycoon Elon Musk - confirmed there was an anomaly on the launch pad which resulted in the loss of the rocket and its payload.
The Israeli made Amos-6 communications satellite was, according to Tech Crunch, carrying technology to allow Mark Zuckerberg's firm to spot beam wireless internet directly to smartphones in sub-Saharan Africa.
The social media company was working in conjunction with a French satellite provider named Eutelsat to lease the communication array for five years.
The first explosion occurred shortly before 9am with a second blast following about 20 minutes later.
