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.

There's probably an element of technology allowing it too. I'm sure there are some pretty sophisticated computers running all of this stuff that might not be possible 10+ years ago.

Oh I know I was over simplifying it, but until Musk ULA basically had a monopoly on the rocket game and had no reason to update their business model. Why innovate to lower prices when people had to pay 300 million for a launch.

Uh, did something just happen? It looked like something hit the rocket

edit: I think it was an optical illusion based on the video skipping and suddenly a reflection is on the rocket.

Because the Pentium chip had a floating point problem and the rockets would miss and crash.

It successfully hit the water at 300 mph. 2 of 3 rockets didn't light.

Anyone watching the star man feed? There was a few minutes where the lights died then the feed went down. Back up now though. Anyone know how long that feed is supposed to last?

The booster? Yeah, it's in a million tiny pieces. Sounds like the drone ship was damaged as well, but not beyond repair or anything.

They weren't going to reuse any of the three boosters, so at least they still got good data from it and can learn for the future.

This should go without saying but never go on Twitter to see what people are saying.

People who have no idea how the space industry works ( I barely have a grasp on any of it) bitching about there being a car in space.
