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'd forgotten that Rocket Lab is now trying to recover their boosters by catching it under parachute with a helicopter. That's kind of fun.

There's the SpaceX way and then the ghetto way.

I won't be getting up for it, but there's yet another Starlink launch tomorrow morning around 5:30am ET.

Everyone missed a spectacular launch this morning. First launch I've ever seen go up and over the horizon. Trail caught the rising sun in the east. Sunrise from the Cape was at 6:38 , launch went up at 5:21. Amazing to watch.

What were those rings that blew off the second stage nozzle after engine ignition?

Totally a guess, but I would think it is some sort of a buffer ring to both help seal the connection of 1st stage and 2nd stage, and also perhaps something to help ease the separation. Looked like once the 2nd stage lit up the ring pops off from the heat or vibration and is under enough tension that is snaps.

Yep. It's a cork ring for stability on launch.

I didn't watch, but the pics look super cool.

But you can see it fly off the engine nozzle. It isn't attached to the the rocket body.
