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.

YES!!!! I can't wait. And sure, pucker factor high, but how many successful Falcon 9 launches have there been, and when was the last failure? And, they've got a (once) proven escape system, too!

Rockets from the Falcon 9 family have been launched 85 times over 10 years, resulting in 83 full mission successes (97.6%), one partial success (CRS-1 delivered its cargo to the ISS, but a secondary payload was stranded in a lower-than-planned orbit), and one failure (the CRS-7 spacecraft was lost in flight).

So, only one real failure.

Two if you count AMOS-6, which blew up on the pad. But yeah, they've launched a ton since then with no issues. Hopefully that's a good sign that all of the kinks are now worked out.

EDIT: I count 57 successful launches in a row, but I could be off by a couple.

Ugh:

If U.S. airlines had the same failure rate as the now-retired space shuttles, there’d be 272 fatal crashes a day.

It's not a launch if it doesn't leave the pad.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The private spaceflight company SpaceX will launch 60 new Starlink satellites to join its ever-growing broadband internet megaconstellation Sunday (March 15) and you can watch it live online.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch the Starlink mission from Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Liftoff is scheduled for no earlier than 9:22 a.m. EST (1322 GMT).

This is SpaceX's sixth launch of the year and the sixth Starlink launch to date. The mission will star a veteran Falcon 9 rocket that will do what no other Falcon has done before: launch and land five times. The booster, dubbed B1048.5, previously launched a bevy of satellites including part of the Iridium NEXT constellations, an Israeli lunar lander a communications satellites for Argentina and Indonesia, and a previous Starlink mission.

This is a major milestone for SpaceX. The upgraded version of their workhorse was introduced in 2018, launching the first communications satellite for Bangladesh. Company founder and CEO, Elon Musk said that the souped up booster would be able to fly ten times with little refurbishment in between. Sunday's flight marks the first time a Falcon has reached the halfway point.

You should see the food for when the time comes. All that will be left to eat are these dehydrated vegetable chips. Oh and it will be 1 billion dollars for a space ticket.
