On the 2nd of September N.A.S.A planned to launch a new satellite for facebook to help send high-speed internet to Africa. The rocket carrying the satellite into space was a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket Instead of having a nice smooth launch seconds after the rocket burst into a fiery ball of flames. Luckily the ship was unmanned and no one was injured. Mark Zuckerburg the creator of Facebook posted on his Facebook page, 'As I'm here in Africa, I'm deeply disappointed to hear that SpaceX's launch failure destroyed our satellite that would have provided connectivity to so many entrepreneurs and everyone else across the continent'. Hopefully they will be able to re-launch another satellite.- Katiemeister:)
