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.

All good. Getting to be a little mundane.

Reviewed it here. And yes, it's not live but it's nice to skip to the action shots.

So a question for thread viewers.

Even I'm starting to lose enthusiasm for every little launch. They haven't had a failure - either launch or landing - in over a year (knock on wood). The webcasts have been pruned down to pretty basic stuff without a lot of extra info.

Do you guys like having the thread bumped for launches, or should I just add a link to SpaceXNow to the OP and only bump the thread for notable launches and major news?

Obviously people can bump the thread on their own any time you want to chat about a launch or whatever.

Keep them coming. It's just beginning to get exciting. People spending over a year in space to study the effects for long distance space travel. With every launch they are fine tuning. They are working on plans for a viable Moon base and a trip to Mars. These are the baby steps that have to be taken in order to reach even further out in space.

Pretty cool sped-up version of the deploy process yesterday. It's fun to see the earth just a rotating around down there.



Also, (roughly) 24-hour bump for the launch tomorrow. This one's at least moderately notable since it's another previously-flown stage.
