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.

Well, they weren't kidding when they said it was in danger of collapsing. It's gone.

Wow. I'm not a rocket scientist, and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn last night, but these seems like REALLY bad design decisions. Apparently it could take a year to fix a problem with the Orion capsule expected to launch next year...

https://www.theverge.com/platform/am...lure-artemis-i

Quote:
Replacing the PDU isn’t easy. The component is difficult to reach: it’s located inside an adapter that connects Orion to its service module — a cylindrical trunk that provides support, propulsion, and power for the capsule during its trip through space. To get to the PDU, Lockheed Martin could remove the Orion crew capsule from its service module, but it’s a lengthy process that could take up to a year. As many as nine months would be needed to take the vehicle apart and put it back together again, in addition to three months for subsequent testing, according to the presentation.

Could be wrong, but I don't THINK they're doing any more static fires before the "hop." They've already done 4.

Here's the last official tweet we had about it.

In case anyone's curious, here's the collapse of Arecibo. Crazy that they actually had a drone up there when it happened.
