Billionaires at war: 'Disappointed' Mark Zuckerberg hits out at SpaceX ...

• http://www.dailymail.co, By MARK PRIGG

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed his 'deep disappointment' at the destruction of his revolutionary $200million satellite on Thursday when the SpaceX Falcon 9 owned by Elon Musk's company suffered a catastrophic explosion on the Cape Canaveral launch pad during a routine pre-launch check.

Zuckerberg is currently visiting several countries in Africa and likely would have marked the occasion of Facebook's Amos 6 satellite being launched into orbit on Saturday, had it not been destroyed around 9am in the massive blast. The satellite was to provide at least 14 countries on the continent and Middle East with free broadband.

'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,' Zuckerberg wrote.

The flat earth people would say that the rocket had to explode, because everyone knows that there isn't any such thing as an orbit, with the earth being flat and all. So, none of the rockets get into space. Some explode. Others crash. Musk and Zuckerberg know the earth is flat, but are milking the people one way or another, just like NASA is. What do you think?
