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.

Not sure where else to post this but I thought it was pretty cool.

Actual sound of wind sent back by InSight on Mars. First noise from another planet that I know of.

Not sure how to directly embed. It's about a page and a half down on this URL.

Launch tomorrow morning (Tuesday) at 9:10am Eastern. No landing attempt (and no legs) due to an intense mission. High profile launch with a GPS satellite. But assuming all goes well, it'll be pretty mundane to watch.

How does that happen? Payload weight alone?

Payload weight + target orbit. Most satellites go to LEO (low earth orbit), which really isn't that far up there. This one's going to MEO (medium earth orbit), which is way further out.

East coast. In a hold at the moment, so we'll see if they launch today after all.

Now scrubbed. Lots of non SpaceX launches today, though, if anyone cares to hunt them down.

Scrubbed again this morning due to weather. Hopefully they can go tomorrow morning. Roughly the same time.

In more interesting news, they've shifted the BFR/BFS (now called Falcon Super Heavy and Starship, respectively) from a carbon fiber design to using some sort of stainless steel alloy. The "hopper" version is officially under construction, and Elon hopes to have a full update on it in March or April.

In theory, we're on again in 15 minutes. This has to be nearing the record for number of scrubs.
