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.

Supposedly it's to increase net availability in developing countries in South America, Africa, etc. but that's likely just covering up their intentions to farm personal data.

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.

JewSat I didn't work out so well. Better luck with JewSat II.

Funny, you see the rocket, all silent, birds chirping total Zen. The the bird gets a heart attack.

That last thing you would expect is that an upper stage blows up. It is not the first time that the upper stage blows up.

That holy shit tits explosion was worth $200m, easy. And it took out Facebook's... satellite? There is a silver lining after all.
