    Tesla (Nikola) experimented with wireless power transmission 110 years ago. He was a genius. Lots of conspiracy theories surround him and his experiments. He died penniless.

    Yeah he had fun though, nice guys finish last. Kinda. He was a mechanical genius, not a monetary genius. He dug ditches for a while after getting pissed at Edison.

    Here is a slow motion video of explosion uploaded on youtube. Some fast flying object is visible nearby at the time of the explosion.

    Could be Russia trying to get Facebook down because its hurting Trumps numbers. And the last thing he needs is Africa hating him too OH WAIT don't they hate him too lol.

    Its moving to fast to be a bird that's for sure. I wonder if this is photo shopped.

    Look up the original video on youtube. It's hard to notice it there but you will see it if you keep looking on the video's right half instead of the rocket itself.

    Its really weird, seems like a drone of some sort. Ah the conspiracy that will come. )(an alien came down )(foreign intelligence).

    Due to its size and speed, what ever fuel its running on has to be small. So i would have to assume its native to the USA. If i had to guess i would say a military recon vehicle doing testing during a live flight.
    It is interesting.

    Do you think recon drones fly that low and that fast? It just zips by and it's gone. But in my mind they can't give a formal conclusion on the cause of the explosion that would completely ignore the flying object.

    • Jeff Bezos has drones.
    • Jeff Bezos founded Blue Origin.
    • Blue Origin is a competitor to SpaceX.
    • SpaceX rocket blows up on the launch pad - due to a possible drone.

    I looked at it a bit more, It looks like its something out of focus that is nearer rather than up close to the rocket itself. The timing is extraordinary, but i think its a bug or bird or something. There something hanging beneath it like legs, and it looks like its in front of the tower in the last frame instead of behind. This pic is taken from over 2 miles away. Focus is so far out anything that comes between the 2 would be super fuzzy and appear to be traveling super fast. Just my opinion.

    Musk has got serious trouble. It's unprofitable for SpaceX to have a reputation of the company which rocket explodes at the start, destroying expensive equipment.
