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.

Am I crazy, or did they move the time up a bit? I didn't realize that was a thing.

EDIT: Oh, right. There's a planned hold. That always confuses me.

I loved the part where the dudes had to go out there on the pad and wrench on a flange to stop a leak. That's a thrill of a lifetime, wrenching on a live rocket that's loading. Fun times..

Watch as Artemis 1's Orion capsule flies by the moon Monday morning

Orion will zoom just 80 miles (130 kilometers) above the lunar surface Monday (Nov. 21) at 7:44 a.m. ET.

NASA's Artemis 1 mission will arrive in the moon's neighborhood on Monday morning (Nov. 21), and you can follow the epic action live.

SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, November 22 for Falcon 9’s launch of Dragon’s 26th Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-26) mission to the International Space Station from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The instantaneous launch window is at 3:54 p.m. ET (20:54 UTC), and a backup launch opportunity is available on Saturday, November 26 at 2:20 p.m. ET (19:20 UTC), pending range approval.

Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship in the Atlantic Ocean. This is the first flight of the Dragon spacecraft supporting this mission.

Dragon will autonomously dock with the space station on Wednesday, November 23 at approximately 6:30 a.m. ET (11:30 UTC).

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 25 minutes prior to liftoff.

And later tonight. Guessing they aren't going to be able to land the booster. T-5 hours

SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, November 22 for launch of the Eutelsat 10B mission to a geosynchronous transfer orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 9:57 p.m. ET (02:57 UTC on November 23).

The Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched Telstar 18 VANTAGE, Iridium-8, and eight Starlink missions.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff.

Yeah, you're right - they're expending the booster on that one. It's kind of sad - that booster has flown 10 times before. I'm sure it makes the most sense to get rid of an old one, though.
