A Rocket Just Exploded on SpaceX's Launchpad - Cape Canaveral AFS
A Rocket Just Exploded on SpaceX's Launchpad - Cape Canaveral AFS
Given this administration's outreach efforts to Islam at NASA....
According to the AP, NASA has reported that SpaceX was conducting a test fire of a rocket when the explosion occurred this morning. The routine test was in preparation for the planned launch of an Israeli communications satellite on Saturday September 3.
Bonus:
The explosion shook buildings several miles away, and additional explosions followed for several minutes.
Keep in mind Eid celebrations begin in a few days. Not supposed to begin until the 10th....but that would have provided a successfully launched Israeli satellite intel an advantage.

SpaceX was getting the Falcon 9 ready to launch the Amos 6 satellite, a communications probe for the Israeli satellite operator Spacecom.
