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.

Surprised how nervous I was for a fully successful test today. That was awesome. Excited to see the slow-mo high res videos of the RSD that will be getting uploaded soon!


More importantly, apparently Bridenstine said that DM-2 could be launching as early as March. Be awesome to finally have human space flight capabilities back home!

One of the few times I don't mind seeing a rocket blow up mid-flight. *grin*

Well done, SpaceX.

The entire test seems to have gone great too. Was cheering for every event like it was a first down pass to Kelce.
