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.

Kind of crazy to see a six-hour window. Guess it makes sense when all you're trying to do is blow the damn thing up.

Part of a contractual agreement to perform a live test of the in-flight abort safety systems.

T-16 and both NASA and SPaceX streams live!


EDIT:
If watching on YT, both streams seem to be the same, but SpaceX stream is a few seconds ahead and in 1080p vs NASA's 720p.

Was interesting to hear Bob brag about how cool it is that SpaceX is spending the money to do this test. Felt a bit like a dig against Boeing who is doing paper based testing/evaluation of in-flight abort. I'd feel more comfortable with a live test too!
