This curious SpaceX launch is either described as a Facebook project to provide Internet access to East Africa, or an Israeli spy satellite. I guess those are not mutually exclusive possibilities.
Despite SpaceX and Tesla being separate companies, Tesla stock took a big hit. Debt and lack of liquidity are grabbing Elon Musk by the throat. “Test, test, test” has value, but it also has a cost
Facebook’s only involvement was to lease one of the “spot beams” on the Israeli satellite

Has ISIS claimed responsibility yet?
If, and a big IF ISIS or any terrorist organization had anything to do with this, and the possibilities are infinite, it would be due to our space program being compromised by the Ayatollah Obama wanting to increase Muslim presence in NASA as directed back in 2008 (We only know of astronauts being trained by NASA, but do we know how many technologists have been hired?)Israel needs t develop their own program or these problems would somehow continue to plague the system.
SpaceX has a contract to deliver NASA’s payloads and ultimately humans to the ISS, before we abandon ISS in 8 years
