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.

DM-1 has been given an official time of 2:48am EST on March 2nd. I'd skip it if it were just another mundane flight, but I think I have to stay up for that one.

FWIW, it'll be very similar to a normal Dragon mission in that it'll go up, dock with ISS, then come back down a few days later with a limited amount of cargo going each direction. The only major thing that's different is that the capsule itself is completely different. They'll obviously be testing all sorts of stuff to make sure all would be well if there were humans on board.

Definitely going to stay up for this. No plans that Saturday so far! Some additional details with scheduling and links to coverage...

Cool! Is that the Dragon 2 Cargo variant, or the Crew variant?

As far as I know, there's no difference other than the presence of seats vs. shelves. Could be wrong though.

EDIT: According to the Wikipedia article, the crew version will also have the escape thrusters. I'm sure they'd include that in the test, so this must technically be the crew dragon but with a small amount of cargo onboard.

Everyday Astronaut is live. (I watch him on the more mundane launches these days.)

If you're talking about the countdown net, it's still there. It's just there as a separate "camera" in the bottom toolbar next to the gear icon. Seems like they're just showing the modeled view right now though. Odd.

Yeah, it has always had issues since they tried to merge it. When it was a separate feed it was great.

Super quiet feed tonight. If it weren't for the occasional cheers, I'd think I was watching ULA stream. Well, except for ULA never showing stage 2, deployment, or landing videos.

Yeah, wonder why no one cares at Hawthorne tonight. It'll definitely be more exciting for the next one.

They're a little more excited for the landing at least. Super cool. I think that's the second one that's been up and down three times.
