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.

Not terribly worried about it. They'll have it when they need it.

Aside from Starship, tomorrow is the first launch of Cargo Dragon V2. Won't be as exciting as when there's crew on board, but should still be fun.

Yeah, same here. But at the same time, every booster they've had an issue with has been new, so they're clearly developing a pattern of success with "used" boosters.

The big question to me is what happens if they push it too far. The flight leader is up to 7 launches, and even Elon has noted that it's slightly riskier at this point. If a booster pops at launch #10, will people say "eh, that's to be expected at some point" or will they start to put more scrutiny on used boosters in general? Time will tell.

True. Musk did say the current block 5 boosters are intended to be good for 10+ launches prior to needing any major refurbishment, but I can see the prudence with only launching humans on 0-3 prior flight boosters for the time being. Maybe once they have a couple boosters at 10+ flights, let humans fly 0-6. No harm in acquiring more data. With Starlink launches I expect they'll hit 10 surprisingly soon.

On the flip side, if a flight 0 fails, will astronauts (and public perception) start to prefer proven a proven booster?
