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.

This is just fan art - not anything official from SpaceX - but it's a cool look at what the finished product MIGHT look like.

Might be a little late for a really spectacular show (since it'll be slightly after sunrise), but it should still be fun to watch!

I'm kind of going to miss Iridium. They've been a huge supporter of SpaceX, and a lot of the "iffy" launches have been theirs. I bet we'll miss not having them as a mainstay customer.

Why are they losing them? Do they have all the satellites deployed now that they could ever need?

Yep. Iridium is replacing their old network with 75 new satellites at 10 per launch. This was launch #8, so they don't need any more.

I suppose it's possible they might need more down the road, but it'll be a long time.

Saw the replay of today's launch. It's amazing how a rocket engine can disrupt a radio signal. I get that it's shake the hell out of everything, but wow...

And a perfectly centered landing.. Woot!
