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, I guess it's good that they can abort the landing safely. I wonder if that'll scare anyone regarding the landings on land.

At that point, I think anything other than "blew up and destroyed a bunch of important stuff" is a win.

I'm not sure I agree. How many successful consecutive landings, both on drone ships and land, have there been until now?

Re-use of the first stage is the cornerstone of SpaceX.

You learn more from a failure than you do from a success. Whatever happened on this one will be what helps it from not happening again.
