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.

Zuma is up tomorrow evening. Probably not going to be much of a webcast due to the classified mission, but they should follow the first stage back down at least.

Nothing yet. Sounds like we're on more of a "end of January" timeline for FH at this point.

I know, but the static fire comes first. They said by January 6.

I think it got pushed back due to this launch slipping a few days. From reddit about the static fire:

"NET currently unknown beyond "next week"."

Hope they'll have some nice views of the landing. Night landings are always fun.
