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.

My dad lives out in the boonies. He can't wait to get starlink internet. 100mbps down for $80/mo. in the middle of nowhere. Just 2 years ago he was paying the phone company $70/mo. for .5mbps down.

Did people actually buy that crap? It looked like a video game. But not a state of the art one. More like a Sega Saturn.

Are you talking about his Tesla Roadster being launched on the first Falcon Heavy?

What makes you think that Musk's Roadster was not launched?
