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 stuff is just amazing to me. I grew up playing lunar lander on our first pc. If you had shown me these videos even 10 years ago I would have sworn they were special effects. Really looking forward to what the next 10 years have in store on the space exploration front.

SXM launch is on in ~45 minutes for your pre game entertainment.

EDIT: Well, the window opens shortly anyway. Per people on site, not much going on right now, which suggests that they won't go on time anyway. It's a two hour window, though, so they might still go at some point.

Super clean replay of the SN8 test. Volume up. Preferably on a good sound system.
