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.

It's a robot flying on Mars. You've got to calibrate your expectations.

In rough numbers, thats about how far Perseverance can go in 3 days at max speed.

Fair enough, the problem must be on my end

I just assumed it would be able to roam further afield

It's flown almost a mile now, in an environment which is equivalent to flying a helicopter on Earth at 87,0000 feet. And, it has to stay in RF range of the rover.

Get your shit in gear, Russia!



As a result, Starliner's demo launch is postponed until next week. (But hopefully they'll finally get up there.)

I love the fact that there are 23 people standing inside the booster in that picture. Gives a sense of how large Starship really is.

While Starship is obviously the most exciting thing going on right now, ULA/Boeing are finally going to try again for their ISS-bound test tomorrow. Fingers crossed nothing else goes wrong.
