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.

Cool. Added that (with a couple tweaks) as a section in the OP.

I wonder what the chances are that we'll pickup the docking on this HD ISS Ustream feed?

Even if you can't see it well on that stream, NASA always covers berthing and unberthing events on NASA TV. That said, it's not as interesting to watch as you might guess - takes a LONG time and nothing moves very fast.

I really want a space elevator. We should be doing that instead of rockets.

There can't be many situations in the world where a slab of concrete is noteworthy, so we might as well experience it.

NASA TV coverage is live if you care enough to watch "pre-game". Nothing but silent views of the rocket at the moment, though.

This is the first time I've ever paid any attention to the NASA broadcasts before maybe T-10 minutes. It's even worse than I expected.
