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.

Always wondered how they'd protect the flaps.

OMG I think that was a near successful landing, at least based on the telemetry. What a test!

While RainMan pretends the Shuttle program is something other than defunct, the rest of us can appreciate some remarkable milestones from this flight. Both Booster and Ship have splashed down.

Not so crazy to think a Booster catch just may happen in the next flight test or two.

Almost as important as the test itself: that shouldn't trigger a mishap investigation, so hopefully FAA approval won't be a holdup for the next one.

I wonder if they'll try to recover either vehicle? Super Heavy isn't that far off the coast. Lol

At this point the licensing is increasingly streamlined. They’ll probably soon have approvals that cover multiple flight tests.

And NASA is excited, as expected.

Starliner docking is coming up in about an hour. It'll be on NASA's channels, though I'll admit that docking isn't exactly riveting to watch.



It sounds like they've had a couple more helium leaks, but the system is super redundant, so they're proceeding with the test as planned.

They''re experimenting. They're not exploring, at least not in a physical context. I'm not saying it's not valuable, but the designers of the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria weren't explorers.

Are people on ISS explorers? How about space probes?

Probes are explorers. People on the ISS are workers.

Rain Man being autistic. The only part of this back and forth that adds up.

That seems extremely myopic to me. At worst, these kinds of tests are aimed at ENABLING exploration even if you want to be pedantic about what "exploration" entails.
