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.

Yeah, if you look at it carefully, it fully-on tilts horizontal at the last second and pushes itself away from the drone ship. Wonder if that was a planned abort sequence to save the ship or if something went wrong with the landing sequence itself.

I’ve got to mention my good friend and amazing photographer @erikkuna who has been doing these shots recently and inspired me to go for it on a whim — go check out his page for a much cleaner shot, similar to this. His experience with this style of launch image shows!

Regarding the failed landing of the center core:




In a follow-up, he says that the booster most likely aborted at the last second to save the ship. So we may have found the edge of what is really possible for the FH center core recovery.

Hey, I actually have some non-SpaceX news to report in this thread! Boeing is gonna test their abort system in a week.




It'll be broadcast starting at 7am EST next Tuesday (7/2) if anyone is interested. Hopefully all goes well - I'd love to see a manned launch this year regardless of whether Boeing or SpaceX gets there first.

"The United Nations fears that the possibility of an asteroid smashing into a densely populated area isn’t being taken seriously enough, so it designated June 30 as International Asteroid Day to raise awareness about the potentially catastrophic occurrence."

Yet I don't read about it until after the fact. Hope they didn't spend much on the campaign.

I was 9 at the time and everyone was glued to their tv sets.
Bump. This starts tonight on PBS 8pm CT. Three part series. New footage, etc.
