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.

I am so stoked that private companies are finally pushing this boundary. This is our future folks and we are getting to watch it unfold!

I have always heard that "May you live in interesting times" was supposed to be a curse but man, we sure do live in interesting times!

Updated OP for the next launch. Currently scheduled for May 26th. Thankfully, I won't have to set an alarm to wake up for that one.

I like exciting and mundane with space exploration. Blowing up is bad.

If anyone's feeling REALLY bored tonight, the landed stage on the barge is floating into port right now. You can see it here:

They must've gotten back close enough to get a good data transfer done. Three angles of the landing. ****ing cool.

sxstats is reporting May 27. I know a lot of people have been questioning the May 26 date, as the range is supposedly closed for maintenance. Haven't found a reference for the range dates.

I'll stick with SFN's date for now since they know about as well as anyone, but it wouldn't surprise me to see it slip.

The bottom of it looks a little beat up though from the aggressive landing. Compare this photo to this photo and this photo. I'll be curious to see if the damage is "looks bad but no big deal" or "we'll never re-fly this one."

And then there were three. They're gonna have to start re-launching these things soon, or they're gonna run out of room!

A guy accidentally captured the 2nd stage streaking over the horizon and the first stage landing (brief flash behind the tree). Nice shot of the Milky Way as well.
