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.

Update: SpaceX says its launch team is still "finalizing review of vehicle data and check outs," so the Falcon 9 will not launch tonight at the opening of the launch window, at 5:40pm ET. A new launch time has not yet been set during the two-hour window to get the rocket off the pad tonight. The webcast below is not expected to begin until about 20 minutes before the rocket actually launches.

Weather has only a 20% chance of violating the cumulus cloud rule at this time.

Ha, nice! Hope we'll get a decent shot of the landing.

(Well, and that it doesn't blow up. It's bad when it blows up.)

It always amazes me how fast it gets to the point that it's practically horizontal.
