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.

Nice to see them switch the audio though. Almost like a hybrid between their normal webcast and the technical cast.

Whoa - landed it, but VERY off-center. Wonder if that will cause it issues coming back...

Would have liked to have seen the roomba since we didn't really get to see any reentry and landing.

Didn't see it, but now that I think back, I remember that the one that hit hard a while back and was leaning was reported to have slid all over the deck, so presumably they can still get it back even if the ship is really off to the side.

Successful sat deploy, so all is well. I'll be curious to see if they can start reusing these GTO boosters - seems like they take a beating on the way back.

I will almost certainly be driving on I-70 between Salina and Denver on Sunday, so I'll probably miss the next one unless I can watch on my phone. Have fun without me!
