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.

There is such a thing as going to far...

Ship is finally back in port. There are tons of pics out there in the usual places (and a whole time series being updated here), but here are a few good ones:









Also, live video from the Port Canaveral Webcam here:

I don't think so. Even the pictures back at port show a lean. I bet one of the landing "feet" was damaged during the landing.

This shot isn't anything new really, but I love having the workers in there for scale. It looks so small when it's all alone on the launch pad, but not so much.

Is that a rocket between your legs...?



Full video of it coming down here:



The exciting part is all in the first 5 minutes or so. After that it's been hours of lowering it down and clamping it in the cradle.

Also, next launch is a late night (12:22 a.m. Central), so I may have to catch the replays in the morning.

I don't have a problem with that since I'm doing a lot of posting from around the interwebs, but I don't want to go so crazy with it that it's annoying to have the thread bumped all the time with boring info either.

So if you would, let me know what you think. I'll add a poll just to give me some concrete numbers, but just generally let me know if you think the level of content I post in here should be 1) slowed down a bit, 2) kept about the same, or 3) dive even more into the minutiae into things like launch schedules, press conferences, etc.

Oh, and thanks to those who have let me know they enjoy keeping up with this stuff privately. I know there are at least a few - I just want to gauge interest from others.

EDIT TO ADD: I could also be convinced to re-brand this as the "Space Megathread" and talk about other cool space shit, but I don't want to overlap with Fish's science thread too much either.
sorry man been more of a lurker than poster. Great job with the thread. I'm up to speed on this because my son is studying Astrophysics. Still learn something new every time I look in the thread.

Interesting that they took a bunch of engines off of the other one. I know they never intended to re-fly it, but still.

Adding to prevent a bump...here's a cool new Android app to keep track of launches (not just SpaceX). Schedules, notifications, etc. Pretty sweet.
