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.

45 min coast phase...

I think debris took out the on-board camera, then, as usual, the drone ship's camera blacks-out during the actual landing. Isn't that because of more than just the thunder from the engines?

Didn't get much of a shot, but looks like a nice bullseye. Satellite deploy should be a trip in 45 minutes or so. Just seeing it is kind of crazy.

Looks like they stuck the landing again.

I don't think that's ever going to get old, watching those things take off and land.

Lots of vibrations = bad for a satellite link. Once the ship stops rocking a bit, the link usually comes back.

I...don't know what to think about that. They just kind of float off in a big blob.

Yeah, I was sorta expecting them to "launch" them like torpedoes or something. Just giving them a push and saying "fly free" wasn't what I was imagining.

My son has been working with NASA in Goddard, Maryland and is currently on a program to replace the Hubble Telescope. He mentioned last week that it's so overbudget it might get scrapped that NASA has a bunch of programs running right now and the President is allocating more money to NASA than the past regime.

I personally, would like to see another manned mission to the moon 50 years on. if they're serious about Mars, they gotta re-do the runs the to moon, at least.

Oohh...is he working on the JWST? That's super cool if so (and still super cool if it's something different). It is indeed way over budget, but I can't imagine it being totally scrapped. Hubble has arguably been the most fruitful scientific instrument ever created in terms of expanding our knowledge of the universe, and we need a replacement for it sooner than later.

As for moon missions, they're definitely coming. I'm still a little skeptical that NASA will get there with SLS, but there are enough entities working on it these days that someone will get there in the next 5-10 years.
