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.

I just watched Bob and Doug get into the elevator with about 8 other people. Surely they all got tested recently, right?

Do you know why that is the case?
To some extent, it's based on the probability of success. But it's also based on how much money people ask for and how much work there is to be done. SpaceX's proposal was probably lower since they're just modifying Starship, and it's also a bit unlikely that it'll work.

Note that it was just a development contract (basically paying the companies to do the engineering work). The actual contracts for who will actually be selected to develop their systems will depend on how things go in the next year or two.

Jesus, I hope you're kidding. I don't want that at all. I want America to get back in the business of putting Americans in space. ASAP. Not hitching a ride with the Russians like we're ****ing Bulgaria or something.

It's clear to me we need to get the launching the hell out of shit hole Florida. Bring the Astronauts back to land, not the Pacific Ocean. Nevada or Arizona possibly Utah. The command center is fine in Houston its a fine State, **** anything Flourida.

Ain't gonna happen. There's a huge advantage in launching as close to the equator as possible.

You're confusing SpaceX with NASCAR.

Yeah, I was mainly trying to irritate BRC.
