It was not Facebook's satellite, they were planning on leasing it from Eutelsat.
Elon is /our/ guy
Elon did it again
Thanks Elon

Bravo Nol- Elon

What does he need a satellite for anyway? I sense a threat to my freedoms. = |
>>56385457
Give internet to the poor in Africa.
So what are the chances this rocket was blown up on purpose? Gotta be a massive set back.
What the fuck was facebook/cuckerburg going to do with a satellite anyway?
Just your run of the mill coms sat so they can prioritize FB traffic?
It wasn't _their_ satellite. They just bought some of the bandwidth.
>>56385525
If you mean on purpose by Musk, almost zero. 200 million is not some chump change, even if the thing had insurance.

>>56385605
No mostly meant by some non-spacex entity not interested in them going as planned.
Thanks nyLon dusk
rest in PISS

Honestly, I can see it happening. Not to sound like a tinfoil, but in 2003 we had a huge disaster here in Brazil, where most of the main people of the Brazilian Space Agency died when a rocket exploded in the launch pad. In total, 21 people died.

Okay who bought the rest of the bandwidth?
>>56385690
Probably sold to government agencies or telcos.
>>56385700
Thanks to your input I have no more questions.

>blowing up Israeli satellites that Facebook had a stake in
HOW CAN A MAN BE SO BASED

you forgot the "I" after FB
>>56385482
You mean spying on Africans too?
>Zuck decides to bankroll his own private aerospace company and fucks Musk's shit up.
>>56385457
zuckerturd was going to try and get internet access to a bunch of africans and middle easterners so you can get spammed even more than ever,
>>56385482
Great, more cheap people that companies can pay to shill on 4chan.
>spacex currently planning a very similar satellite based internet
nothing to see here, move along

Good thing is, Elon's team is not some huehue retards, so no one was injured. They remote conrolled everything from safe distance.

He's also doing it to exhaust IPv4 to force the IPv6 botnet

>IPv6 botnet
explain
>>56385195
sorry to pop your balloons but they insure that stuff anyway. if it blows, it's covered$.
>>56385195
He's a jew he was probably insured for triple that much. At least.
>>56388530
his tinfoil hat is on a little too tight
>>56388530
They're equivalent to UUIDs so the government and Facebook will be able to track you CONSTANTLY

>Give internet to the poor in Africa.
He doesn't give them "internet" only access to FB and a select FB approved sites. He basically wants to convince people in developing countries that FB = the internet so he can operate a FB network as an alternative to the internet.
India kicked him out after he tried it there, it was obvious he was just after a monopoly and political power by controlling access to media.

>was lost in the SpaceX rocket
SpaceX crocket
>>56385482
ah yes, where millions of people are starving and have to walk 6 hours to get water. what do they need?
a fucking internet connection.
that'l save them.
>>56389140
well the reason why they are starving/get diseases from water/cannot into irrigation is because of stupidity so they may be on to something
>>56389140
>implying that supplying them with porn/entertainment and/or making them less illiterate won't stop them, fucking like rabbits having 4 kids in average family.
thus solving overpopulation and mass stravation.
