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.

A guy on reddit looked at all the tech specs and thinks that it can fit in a normal fairing, but with only about 2.5 cm of clearance. That seems awfully tight to me, but I doubt they let things rattle around in there much, so maybe it's fine.

And they might be able to get extra clearance by removing recovery hardware like the parachute packs and cameras. Would love to see if they have been building an oversized fairing for this.

Just to check in with readers of this thread, I'm starting to settle into a pattern of posting stuff. I generally try to post:
  1. Major news about milestones
  2. After a launch, an estimate of the timing and key details of the next one
  3. Completion of the static fire (and final target date and time)
  4. Final heads-up somewhere between 2-24 hours before the launch
  5. Any particularly awesome videos or shots of the launch

Everyone still liking that flow? I still recognize that there are like 5 of us who are really involved in this thread, so I hate to bump it TOO often. (That said, it's not like there are hundreds of NHL or NBA fans around here either, so there are other threads that are similar in scope.)
