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.

They look cool, I'm getting excited. One thing we can all agree on is we can't wait to see the Moon in HD! (when we got back)

Kinda sad this isn't on any broadcast stations. It's on discovery and science but this is the kind of thing they used to interrupt regular TV for. But God forbid someone miss judge Judy.

450k on the SpaceX stream (which is the exact same thing from what I can tell).

If the crew has to take over and "fly" the Dragon, what is the MMI? The touchscreens?

Those are big time numbers considering it's a weekday and we are still a couple of hours from the launch if it even happens.

Yep. There are some buttons for certain functions, but 90% of the controls are through the touchscreens.

I just hope the rocket doesn't fall over before launch. I wonder if they've remembered to check the strap at the top???
