There's no comparison to be made between an accident occurring in an inherently risky field and peddling technology that you know doesn't work.

Nitpick mode: Facebook didn't own that satellite and their only involvement in it was a plan (now, obviously, altered) to lease a decent chunk (but by no means all) of its capacity from its owner once it was operational. I'm not sure why everyone decided it was Facebook's satellite.
