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.

You are doing just fine, thanks Donger. We do need DaFace back for this thread, but that isn't an indictment on how you have been doing.

Nah, that dude's a dick.

But seriously, I don't really think you guys have been missing anything. "DaFace" might have added some color commentary, but otherwise it looks like Donger's been keeping up on the major news.

I wonder if they scheduled the DEMO-1 launch around viewing times to get the publicity. Makes sense that the next one would just go when they need to go, but kind of sucks that it'll be in the middle of the night for most people.

BTW, I'm finding the "Next Spaceflight" app to be very solid to help keep track of launches. They're aiming to launch the Delta IV Heavy again tonight, though it's been scrub after scrub after scrub for them lately.

Thanks. I'm probably still going to be relatively scarce compared to before, but this thread is kind of my baby, so I'll try and pop in often enough to at least post the stuff I think is interesting.

So on that note, the Delta IV Heavy launch keeps getting scrubbed, which keeps forcing SpaceX to bump their launches back. But here's a super cool shot of both F9's patiently waiting for their turns to fly.
