Because they want to get more people using Facebook, and at this point, that means improving Internet access in distant areas of the world via geostationary-orbit satellites (because creating and launching that satellite network is cheaper and safer than actually running fiber optic cables across the distant continents).

That was exactly my thought immediately after my initial thinking "this will be a fun click".
Actually it was "Wait, WUT!"

That's fucking awesome. Facebook has no business sending up satellites.

That was fun to watch. I always hate seeing anything destined for space blow up, but knowing it was a facebook satellite I just don't care this time.
