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.

There really isn't a ton to see there, but here are a few more!

Here's a shot of the building. (Rocket is to the left of this view.)



Other angle of the rocket with Mrs. DaFace for scale.



And here's a shot of the hyperlook test track they have running down the street beside the building.

It's pretty cool to see up close. Oddly, I'd say that it wasn't as tall as I'd expected, but the base is bigger than I expected, and the legs are huge!

Were you able to ride it? If so, how long did it take to reach the intersection?
