SpaceX blast kills Zuck's sat

I think the payload has to be assembled onto the rocket so it has to stand with the payload on.

However, I think when a satellite is manufactured they usually make two, so there will be a backup ready to fly. Unfortunately.

I'm pleased to see a scum outfit like Faecebook suffer a setback, though the bigger hit will be taken by the insurance underwriters.
