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.

Awesome. I couldn't figure it out.

What's really mind-blowing to me is that when I was watching the clock a mere 20 minutes after launch the mission was all but done (except for bringing the 2nd stage back in its terminal phase). I remember a day when it took for seemingly ever to get to the deployment part.

One other observation was the difference in "Mission Control." 25 years ago it was air-cooled consoles with built-in CRTs; today it's a bunch of three-monitor (prolly bought on Amazon Prime) setup on what looks pretty-much like four-legged office table nudged together.

That's AWESOME!!!

A little more than that, but you're not far off the mark.

It's gotta be trippy just standing there and looking up at it.




(And if I start getting obnoxious with the volume of this crap I'm posting, let me know. I'm a little excited.)

Great perspective. Bezo's needs to learn his place.

Musk's SpaceX is so far more advanced than Bezo'z attempt.

Video version of the pic from above. Blow it up to full screen and crank the resolution for best effect - you can even see the legs coming down right in time.

When will they know if the first stage is actually reusable (and didn't sustain too much damage in the process)? If it just needs some parts, gas and paint and is ready to have a second stage, payload and fairing attached, that'd be awesome...

I don't think anyone really knows. Musk did indicate on a call last night, though, that he doesn't think this one will ever fly again. I don't know what kind of museum can hold a 14-story rocket, but he seemed to think that's where it ultimately belongs.

That said, I bet that they at least fill it back up at some point and static fire it just to see what happens.
