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.

The first time I saw the original, single fin design, I thought it was a bit bizarre. It really wouldn't give much control.

We don't need Space X. Mahomes can launch objects into orbit left handed.

We've been so spoiled from the fast pace in the beginning of this year. Seems crazy we have to go 3-4 weeks between launches.

Launch in an hour if anyone's interested. This will be the first time they're bringing the booster back to land on the west coast, so should be at least mildly interesting in comparison to other recent launches.
