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.

Maybe. I thought those came from the center compartment over the door. Could be wrong.

But where is the Tesla?
  • The current location is 88,052,181 miles (141,706,293 km, 0.947 AU, 7.88 light minutes) from Earth, moving toward Earth at a speed of 40,203 mi/h (64,700 km/h, 17.97 km/s).
  • The car is 30,361,937 miles (48,862,817 km, 0.327 AU, 2.72 light minutes) from Mars, moving toward the planet at a speed of 20,476 mi/h (32,953 km/h, 9.15 km/s).
  • The car is 147,518,492 miles (237,408,074 km, 1.587 AU, 13.20 light minutes) from the Sun, moving toward the star at a speed of 7,745 mi/h (12,465 km/h, 3.46 km/s).
  • The car has exceeded its 36,000 mile warranty 33,842.3 times while driving around the Sun, (1,218,324,205 miles, 1,960,703,356 km, 13.11 AU) moving at a speed of 47,333 mi/h (76,175 km/h, 21.16 km/s). The orbital period is about 557 days.
  • It has achieved a fuel economy of 9,669.2 miles per gallon (4,110.8 km/liter, 0.02433 liters/100 km), assuming 126,000 gallons of fuel.
  • If the battery was still working, Starman has listened to Space Oddity 246,805 times since he launched in one ear, and to Is there Life On Mars? 332,560 times in his other ear.
  • Starman has completed about 1.6309 orbits around the Sun since launch.
  • A telescope about 20,797 ft (6,339 m) in diameter would be required to resolve the Upper stage from Earth. A smaller one could see him as an unresolved dot, about 40.0 ft (12.2 m) in diameter, in ideal conditions.
  • The vehicle has traveled far enough to drive all of the world’s roads 53.9 times.
