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.

Probably some combination of 1) trolls, 2) mistakes, and 3) people who still think that space exploration isn't a good use of funds.

Or maybe they were disappointed there was no explosion.

The trunk contains cargo and is unpressurized, right?

Not 100% sure. Maybe they're referring to radio loops? (channels with everyone = the big loop?)

Yes, though I'm not sure there's actually any cargo this time.

How is it accessed from Dragon?

It's not. The trunk only holds unpressurized cargo, and they grab it out of there with Canadarm.

While it's still attached to Dragon? Or do they detach the trunk and pick stuff out?
