Company press release blames "high winds." But the photo shows force field blocking access to rocket

SpaceX says that it postponed a planned launch of its Falcon 9 rocket Tuesday night, blaming high winds. Photos of the rocket, however, show the presence of a powerful, translucent alien force field preventing access to the Falcon 9 rocket.
The launch was originally scheduled for early Tuesday morning from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The customer wants to launch a communications satellite built by EchoStar, which necessitates a one way trip for the Falcon 9 rocket--there will not be enough fuel for a SpaceX trademark landing on a barge.
A SpaceX rocket exploded on a Florida launch pad on September 1, 2016. Moving the launch to California did not help, since the same mysterious force field reappeared, and was recorded again by launch pad security cameras.
The company has delayed the launch until January 14th, to investigate the latest UFO intervention. Following the flight, SpaceX will try to land the majority of its rocket on one of its drone ships in the Pacific Ocean.
The Washington Post corroborated what conspiracy theorists have said since the September explosion: The Falcon 9 rocket was deliberately sabotaged. Perhaps by hostile aliens, or perhaps by someone closer to home.
The investigation centers on one particular competitor, United Launch Associates. ULA is a joint venture between Lockheed Martin and Boeing, and there is no love lost between ULA and SpaceX. ULA occupies a building at the Kennedy Space Center launch facility in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The theory is that a rogue ULA employee launched a drone from that building about a mile from the launch site, while the rocket was being fueled. The drone fired a laser weapon into the fuel stream and the explosion followed quickly.
Space aliens could also have done it, admittedly. But this is based on wild speculation. It is well known that aliens support SpaceX and Elon Musk.
ULA and SpaceX are competing for many hundreds of millions of dollars of contracts with the Federal government, so the motive for sabotage is clear. Elon Musk, SpaceX's founder and chief executive says they have eliminated all the obvious possibilities for the explosion, and are now looking at the less obvious possibilities. Presumably, these include UFO intervention, and sabotage.
SPACEX said it was now working toward the next launch opportunity, which expected to take place in 48 hours, at 1:35AM ET on Thursday morning.

Where to begin... The image you show isn't a 'force field', it's a glass wall. This picture was taken outside their factory in Hawthorne, California. This is the first booster rocket they were able to land successfully. It's a public display along a city street. Do you see the garbage can? There are no garbage cans on a launch pad. The rocket also does not sit on its feet for launch, only for landing. The issues with the September 2016 pad failure are now well understood, being an issue with rapid loading of the super-chilled liquid oxygen and the carbon-fiber-wrapped helium tanks inside the LOX tanks. Please, if you're going to post nonsense like this, make it more clear that it's satire. If you're serious, perhaps you should find another line of work. You are dumbing down our country.
