A Space X Falcon 9 rocket has exploded at Cape Canaveral space center, in advance of a planned Saturday launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
NASA says Space X 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 Israeli made Amos-6 communications satellite was, according to Tech Crunch, carrying technology to allow Zuckerber’s firm to spot beam wireless internet directly to smartphones in sub-Saharan Africa. As a result of the explosion, there might be changes to the schedule of delivery of cargo sent to the International Space Station.
