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.

Aww.

SpaceX is still tracking towards a 6:03pm ET liftoff of DSCOVR, but unfortunately we will not be able to attempt to recover the first stage of the Falcon 9. The drone ship was designed to operate in all but the most extreme weather. We are experiencing just such weather in the Atlantic with waves reaching up to three stories in height crashing over the decks. Also, only three of the drone ship’s four engines are functioning, making station-keeping in the face of such wave action extremely difficult. The rocket will still attempt a soft landing in the water through the storm (producing valuable landing data), but survival is highly unlikely.

Take 3 in 15 minutes. Everything seems pretty smooth today (ignoring the fact that they won't be able to try to land it).

Had to watch the rerun, but very cool nonetheless.

It takes successes like this to get to the vertical landing they're looking for, it'll happen soon no doubt, cant wait to see it.

Thanks for getting this thread started, DaFace.

Heads up that there's a scheduled launch tonight at 9:50 pm Central.

Nothing terribly exciting in terms of experiments this time - no legs and no attempt to land the second stage at all - though it's the first time SpaceX has ever delivered two satellites with one launch.

Weather is 70% GO at the moment.

Will this country ever build a craft that doesn't look like 1950's redux?

Just unveil the anti-grav system already for ****'s sake.
