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.

Sure, no question they would have wanted more. My initial hunch, though, is that it was mainly an issue with the separation system. Hopefully they at least got enough data to know what they need to troubleshoot.

This is hilarious but also suggests how challenging the ground support systems are going to be for this thing. It's hard to imagine that there's not any ground-level damage even though the liftoff was completely nominal.

Yikes. I hope Starbase didn't get too damaged. Looks like that vehicle took a good beating.

I bet the owner is more concerned with the equipment on top than the 20 year old minivan it's mounted on.

Some cool shots here:



Unless it's a weird illusion, the ship really "leaned" away from the tower on launch.
