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.

Not looking good, but there are "signs of life." Wonder if it landed intact but not in the right orientation.

"Our equipment is on the surface of the moon, and we are transmitting."

So...success? I think?

They're at least tentatively calling it a success! Hopefully we'll get a feel for whether everything is nominal soon.

Yeah, the I watched for about 30 minutes or more, and it was all pretty anti-climactic until the mission director said: Odysseus has found a new home.

That was pretty cool. It'll be great when they have acquired signal and can begin transmitting some live feed.

So you're saying that someone - or something - tipped it over?

This is a pretty thorough overview of the causes for Odysseus ending up sideways but the quick engineering that has made it a resounding success despite not going perfectly.

I have a friend who I used to teach Scuba with here in KC who moved to Florida about a year ago and this was her view of this event. I hope to make a bike ride from KC to the Keys this summer (with some stops to see friends along the way), and I hope to time the stop at her house with a launch.

Pleasant night at Starbase for some cocktails, and to have a look at the fully stacked Flight 3 Starship.



And some great shots from last week's wet dress rehearsal...
