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.

Well, shit. Though I doubt there will be as thorough of an investigation since it was a test fire (which is meant to identify issues), chances are that did a ton of damage to the pad that's gonna take forever to fix.

Loss of payload...ouch.

Two lost payloads in 1.5 years isn't going to help opinions of their reliability.

It SOUNDS like it may have been an issue with the ground equipment and not the rocket (not confirmed by official sources). That's not necessarily any better, but it's interesting if so.

I thought the satellite wasn't onboard?

It seems odd that they would be test firing it with the payload onboard.

I wouldn't have thought it would be either, but apparently it was.

Sadly, I've removed the "next launch" info from the OP. It'll probably be a while before there's anything to put in there.

Tight schedule. Taking the rocket back down and performing the mounting, putting it back up, two days away from launch while still checking all the systems just wasn't feasible.

Lesson learned. At a cost of $200m.
