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 feel like they need to give boosters names. This one at least deserves a moniker better than B1049.7.

Also 100th launch of the Falcon 9.

We just watched the launch from the top of my sister's condo in Tampa. Pretty cool!

I was glad to see NASA astronauts naming their crew dragons.

That's also 22 launches on the year, with up to 5 more in December (but probably just 1 or 2 more). 24 launches scheduled for 21 (2 heavy launches!), and that's not including Starlink. I would not be surprised to see SpaceX hit 2 launches per month just for Starlink next year. We may see them hit 50.

Kind of crazy that they have only built 5 boosters this year for like 25 launches. I know that's the whole idea, but it's easy to miss how much money they're saving from all this.

Heads-up that the 15km Starship hop could happen this week (Wednesday at the earliest).



It's always tough to watch these things, as they don't really publish set times, so you just end up watching streams of a rocket sitting on a pad for hours. But it'll be fun if you can catch it.

Also, just to set expectations, I think it's highly likely that this results in a big boom. There's a shit ton of new stuff they're trying on this launch, so the likelihood of it actually flying, falling, and landing itself on the first try is pretty low.

Another static fire? Interesting.

Are they actually going to try to land it on the pad at the complex? If so, I hope they have some contingency if things go wrong to keep it away from the complex and the village.

Yes, the plan is to try and land it back at the complex. Like the F9 landings, it'll be over the water until the very end to try and prevent damage to the facility.

But that said, they've set a five-mile-radius exclusion zone for this (which goes beyond the village), so they clearly think there's a chance that things could get ugly. I don't think damage to the facility or village is out of the question.

I'll wait for the post-event video this time. Last time we waited forever just to watch the rocket fart.

I haven't seen any updated simulations, so here's what this flight should look like for those unaware:
