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.

If you don't have a match (TSA will prolly take them away), watch this and be ready to tell some rocket nerds what they did wrong...

And you're going to need to stuff a lot of lox into the tank, what's on top in the pic is what you'll need. Wait to buy it on the other end, if you leave it in your luggage your shirts are going to smell in no time...

The Heavy launches are great. Three rockets strapped together. Love the night launches, the whole sky lights up with an orange glow.

Wonder why they haven't officially announced Sunday yet. Hope that holds.

As for the LOX issue, presumably they would have loaded it normally during the static fire, so I wonder if there's some reason that things aren't performing reliably the same way every time. I wouldn't think that external temperature variation would matter much, but who knows why else they would've just plain missed the mark.

They lower it down horizontally overnight at least, but I doubt they bother bringing it inside unless there's an issue with the vehicle itself that needs to be addressed. Otherwise, I can't imagine weather would have any appreciable impact on it for quite a while.

What do I not understand? Formatting. My god, why don't you know this? All rows should be of same height if the cell is less than 30 characters. If it is more than 30 character, look into reworking your cell content.

No wonder jobs get outsourced. Much cheaper labor at least understands this basic data reporting rule.

Go back to school.

I had no idea why you were cranky either. It's not like it was designed for public consumption.

Formatting? "We're talking about Formatting" In my best Allen Iverson voice.
I thought you had didn't understand why the 45th Space Wing was doing Range Support and ER Maintenance.
