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.

This is a biased group to get feedback from, but do you guys think we should start a new thread for the DEMO-2 launch or just keep it in here? The first manned launch from U.S. soil in a decade seems like an event people should know about, but I'm always hesitant to clutter up a Chiefs board with too much space stuff.

No, in my opinion. It's just going to make this thread even better!

Start the new thread for this historic event. If it catches, great. If not, we still have this thread!

I was thinking about the landing legs. During ascent, the stress put on them (facing the direction of flight) must be massive. I wonder how much drag they add.

I'm sure it's significant. It looks like Starship is going to have them coming out from the base rather than on the sides, likely to reduce the drag.

Assuming the data looks good, the next step is a 150m hop (like Starhopper, but a much taller rocket). No set timeline, but hopefully in the next couple weeks.
