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.

Elon Musk's Space Exploration Technologies will fly its first mission for the U.S. Air Force in August when it launches the military's X-37B miniature spaceplane, Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson said on Tuesday.

Four previous X-37B missions were launched by United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rockets.

I had no idea they could fit that thing in a normal fairing. Cool.

Unrelated, but this video is beautiful. Clearest shot they've had yet of a landing from the air. View full screen for the best effect.

It's actually quite small. If bored, here's a ULA webcast of an X-37B launch. Some interesting time points...

19:00 T 00:10
23:30 Fairing Sep
24:20 Engine Cutoff / Stage Sep
25:15 X-37B Sales Pitch (some good footage with size perspective)
28:20 Payload Discussion with Bill Nye

Crazy. It looks bigger in pictures.

Next launch is 10 days away. This will be the second re-flown booster.

Seems funny looking without the legs.

Amazing turnaround. And cool that we'll get another launch just 8 days later at VAFB. That'll be the first time for 3 launches in a month.
