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.

Thank you for the heads up, I didn't realize it was that early.
If it makes you feel any better (probably not), the launch itself is like 1/10th of the situations where it can go wrong. This one's gonna be nerve-wracking until it's operational in (hopefully) 6 months or so.

Man, you get spoiled by SpaceX broadcasts. Lost in the clouds after about 15 seconds, so animation it is.

Some pretty big critical steps have been completed with very good results. Very good sign. Starting to ease my worry just a little bit....

Second and Third Layers of Sunshield Fully Tightened

The Webb team has completed tensioning for the first three layers of the observatory’s kite-shaped sunshield, 47 feet across and 70 feet long.

The first layer – pulled fully taut into its final configuration – was completed mid-afternoon.

The team began the second layer at 4:09 pm EST today, and the process took 74 minutes. The third layer began at 5:48 pm EST, and the process took 71 minutes. In all, the tensioning process from the first steps this morning until the third layer achieved tension took just over five and a half hours.

These three layers are the ones closest to the Sun. Tensioning of the final two layers is planned for tomorrow.

Only like 250 more things that can go wrong.

But you're not wrong. We're at least confident that the launch went great and that it's in good shape overall. Fingers crossed there are no whammies hiding in there.

Things have went very well so far, they should continue to do so. Trust the science...

Every day provides a little bit more confidence...
