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.

It won't be on NASA TV if that's what you're asking (since it's a private company's mission).

Doesn't sound promising. But at least I'd get to watch if they postpone.

Thanks. I just switched over to NASA and there was a guy on stage doing comedy. They should maybe rethink that.

That'll make it basically an instantaneous window at that point, so we'll see if they get it off. Unfortunately I won't be able to catch up until late tonight, so I hope you guys get to enjoy the show.
That doesn't bode well.

A funny astrophysicist? Isn't that, or shouldn't that be an oxymoron?

Well, sucks it got scrubbed, but I should be able to watch tomorrow night at least! Pretty much the same timing - window opens at 6:35pm EST.

Hope so. Looks like weather is 90% favorable today (80% yesterday). High-level winds can be a bitch, so we'll see.

Aww...that little lunar lander that SpaceX launched a few months back didn't make it.

Israel's Beresheet Probe Crashes on the Moon
George Dvorsky

The Beresheet probe crash-landed on the Moon earlier today, dashing Israel’s hopes of becoming only the fourth country to land a functioning probe on the lunar surface.

“We lost it,” said a SpaceIL official a few minutes after mission controllers lost contact with the Beresheet probe. “We failed to land the spacecraft.”

The descent had been proceeding normally until the probe was around 11 kilometers (6.8 miles) above the lunar surface. And in fact, Beresheet even managed to take a selfie a few minutes earlier, at around 22 kilometers (13.6 miles) from the surface.

“Well, we didn’t make it. But we definitely tried,” said another SpaceIL official. “And I think that the achievement of getting to where we got is really tremendous. I think we can be proud.”

The exact cause of the malfunction has not been disclosed, but the probe appeared to have experienced an engine failure during the descent. Israel was trying to become only the fourth country to land a probe on the Moon, the others being the United States, the Soviet Union, and China.

“If at first you don’t succeed, you try again,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said to the crowd gathered at the SpaceIL control center.

If anyone's looking for something to watch pregame, Everyday Astronaut hosts a live stream for pretty much every launch, and he's there live today.
