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 know they wouldn't have helped with today's landing, but I wonder if they'll beef up the landing legs on Starship a little.

I think SpaceX Crew 2 is supposed to launch in Spring also. Talk about shutting up the old space naysayers!

Supposedly there will be significant design changes starting with SN15. Musk has also said the current legs are just "demonstrator". Watching the landing at 1/4 speed, it does not look like the legs extended for this.

It's king of exciting watching these things when you don't really know many of the details. I though both engine shut downs meant it was toast, then the fire seemed terribad. But I'm thrilled with what they accomplished.
I think watching it free fall through the clouds was one of the coolest moments for me.

They are also definitely down to only one engine firing at landing, after relighting 2.

Oh okay, thanks. Well they probably ended up in Mexico!

Oh yeah, I love Tim's work. Watch most of his vids and usually have his stream for audio pre-launch before switching to SpaceX. He knows he has a problem. He admitted it today.
