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.

Falcon Heavy launch this afternoon:

SpaceX is targeting Sunday, January 15 at 5:56 p.m. ET (22:56 UTC) for Falcon Heavy’s launch of the USSF-67 mission to a geosynchronous Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Following booster separation, Falcon Heavy’s two side boosters will land on SpaceX’s Landing Zones 1 and 2 (LZ-1 and LZ-2) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

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

I almost talked myself into a trip to Orlando this weekend in hopes of catching a launch, but at the time they were saying it would likely be February for the next FH launch.

We decided on San Diego instead. It's been fun, but...dammit.

One of my fellow dive instructors recently moved to Vero Beach and when I go there for diving (actually diving in the Keys), I plan to time it with a launch of something...

SpaceX is targeting Friday, February 17 at 11:12 a.m. PT (19:12 UTC) for a Falcon 9 launch of 51 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. If needed, a backup opportunity is available on Saturday, February 18 at 10:58 a.m. PT (18:58 UTC).

The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, DART, and six Starlink missions. Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

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

First time seeing this for me. Video taken from a Starlink satellite. Falcon 9 second stage de-orbit burn. Watch the top right:

Hope this attaches...

The sons of a lady from the Netherlands who I met on a dive trip are in Florida and got to see the launch. Very cool. https://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/63f0c735...2126049184.mp4

I still can't figure if those youtube feeds that claim to show Earth from ISS are real or not.

You figure NASA would have a live chat for Astronauts to answer questions over the internet
