Well, at least the prevalence of Earthly drones has reduced Klaatu and Gort's inter-planetary alliance necessarily always being responsible for these set-backs. Maybe it's even an ethnic/racist terrorist conspiracy, given the internet nature of the destroyed satellite and the all-importance of delivering Facebook reliably to the masses of the African continent.

Those damn aliens again. Someone needs to tell them how to distinguish rockets from nuclear missiles!

Looking at the serial photos of the event, the object is clearly there and the rocket explodes when it is right by it. Very strange.
And Elon seems to agree:

"Important to note that this happened during a routine filling operation. Engines were not on and there was no apparent heat source," said Musk questioning how the rocket could spontaneously erupt in flames. "Particularly trying to understand the quieter bang sound a few seconds before the fireball goes off. May come from rocket or something else."
