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.

Fun trivia. This is the first time they've used a booster three times. This one has previously launched from each of the east coast sites, so it's now launched from all three of SpaceX's sites.

Wow. Live video of the booster landing on the drone ship from some other ship. Super cool.

So...maybe they've figured out some steps to take to make it kinda sorta waterproof?

Another launch tomorrow at about the same time FWIW.

If it's soft enough to not break them, and they're they can deal with water, I guess it's all good.

I was just looking at their missions, and they aren't going to do another heavy before they do the first BFR?

Next FH launch is expected to be Arabsat-6. Currently NET January, but I'd guess it'll slip from that a bit. I'd imagine FH will fly about 4-5 times before BFS.
