It appears that your machine does not have full access to the internet. Are you running minikube from China by any chance?

You can check by using curl to dowload the ISO: curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/iso/minikube-v1.5.1.iso

If you aren't able to use the internet, you can download the ISO file to ~/.minikube/cache/iso. You'll also need the appropriate docker images though, so I suggest running minikube start --download-only once from a machine with access to the internet, and copying ~/.minikube/cache over from there.
