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.

I guess that has to be it, just could’ve sworn it was Jupiter

There are several posts about it somewhere in this thread, I just don’t have the patience to dig back... someone a year or so ago basically told me “calm down, be patient” when I asked irritatedly why the findings hadn’t been released yet

There was speculation from NASA that they’d find clouds of liquid metal and all kinds of other far out discoveries

Yeah, I don't know of any other atmospheric entry probes to Jupiter.

Apparently Venus has liquid metal rain though!

I'm actually looking forward to the upcoming Didymos impact and Bennu landing. Hoping for some really cool footage.

As we wait for payload deploy, it still amazes how routine these have become for us viewers.

Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to watch. It sounds like they're not "detonating" the booster, but according to this article, "the Falcon 9 booster is expected to break up due to extreme aerodynamic loads during the abort sequence," so that should be crazy to see.

Yeah, I hope they take some super slow mo video of it. I read somewhere (don't remember where, r/spacex probably) that S2 won't actually be loaded with propellant or a working engine. That will probably lessen the fun a bit. lol

I'll be up bright and early for this one! It might be the only launch where we're legitimately excited to see the booster blow up!

I think the strongback behind the rocket is making some of the edges look a little wonky.
