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.

Third launch in around 36 hours coming up for SpaceX in a few minutes. Amazing the pace at which they operate these days.

SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, June 29 for launch of SES-22 to a geosynchronous transfer orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The two-hour launch window opens at 5:04 p.m. ET, 21:04 UTC. A backup launch opportunity is available on Thursday, June 30 with the same window.

The Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting this mission previously supported the launch of one Starlink mission. After stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 10 minutes prior to liftoff.

The instantaneous launch window is at 9:11 a.m. ET (13:11 UTC), and a backup opportunity is available on Friday, July 8 at 8:49 a.m. ET (12:49 UTC).

The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched Crew Demo-2, ANASIS-II, CRS-21, Transporter-1, Transporter-3, and seven Starlink missions. Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage will return to Earth and land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff.

First image from JWST is in!



They'll be doing a more formal announcement with other images tomorrow, but this is pretty stunning:

"This slice of the vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground."

Funny how insignificant in scale we are to the rest of the universe and we spend our time squabbling over a few pieces of ground.

Neil Degrasse Tyson explained that the things that look like...well...stars are stars in our own galaxy (and really aren't very interesting). Everything else in the image is a galaxy.

Gravitational lensing at it's finest.

Gravity strong enough to bend light. Crazy shit out there.
