Space Exploration megathread

Since a number of cool things are happening in space exploration these days, we'll widen the scope of this thread a smidge. Conversation about all things space exploration are welcome, whether it be from NASA, SpaceX, ULA, Blue Origin, or anyone else. Chances are most of the discussion will still be about SpaceX since they love to make things public and fun, but nothing's off limits. I'll eventually get around to modifying the OP to include resources for other companies too, but in the meantime, feel free to post any cool stuff you run across.

Random quotes from Elon from a sort of press conference today.
  • doing a six-hour coast before final second-stage burn; going through Van Allen Belts. Also fuel could freeze or oxygen lost.
  • Tesla will be placed into a heliocentric orbit and become a Earth-Mars cycler; only extremely tiny chance of hitting Mars in foreseeable future.
  • one area of concern is relative interactions of the three booster cores; could be resonance or shockwave impingement. Once second stage separates, we’re in much more known territory other than long-duration coast.
  • looks like development of BFR is moving quickly, and won’t be necessary to qualify Falcon Heavy for crewed spaceflight.
  • if we’re successful, offer near super-heavy-lift for little more than Falcon 9. “Game over” for all other heavy-lift rockets.
  • if successful with this test launch, we’ll be ready to put a satellite on the next Falcon Heavy launch.
  • if successful should be able to d another FH in three to six months. Can produce them at a pretty rapid rate.
  • if we wanted to, we could add to more side boosters, make it Falcon Super Heavy.
  • If FH blows up the pad, it'll take at least 9 - 12 months to get the pad back in action. It won't affect production.
  • However if it clears the pad and doesn't go well, can launch FH again in 3 to 4 months

Press kit is up.

http://www.spacex.com/sites/spacex/f...resskit_v1.pdf

The timing is the most interesting to me. Max-Q happens in only 1:06, and BECO (booster engine cutoff) happens at 2:29. And almost most interestingly, all three boosters will land within 21 seconds of each other at ~8 minutes - two on land and one at sea.

My fiancé has been giving me a hard time because I have been talking nonstop about this for a week now. I have a viewing party set up at work and I may cry if this works like it should.

Too go or not was going to be a last minute thing. Planned everything, just had to pull a series of triggers to make it happen. Unfortunately, my little guy came up with a fever of 101.8. Needless to say, our plans were scrapped.

If they don't blow up the launch pad today, they could have another launch in 3-4 months.
