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.

This is a pretty cool site that lets you follow along with the various deployment steps as they happen.

This sunshield deployment and tensioning is where I thought they had the most risk.

"We have a telescope."

Fully capable of sending data now, regardless of full mirror deployment. Mirrors already in place far exceed the capabilities of Hubble.

The instruments need to be cooled still. And that cryocooler is a fascinating bit of engineering.

SpaceX is targeting Thursday, January 6 for a Falcon 9 launch of 49 Starlink satellites to low Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The instantaneous launch window is at 4:49 p.m. EST, or 21:49 UTC, and a backup opportunity is available on Friday, January 7 at 4:28 p.m. EST.

Falcon 9's first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched GPS III-4, GPS III-5, and Inspiration4. Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff.

I saw it while driving over the causeway this afternoon. You need to show up when they do the booster landing at the Cape.

Yeah, I've kind of had it in my mind that I'd try to make it down for a FH launch this year. Damn hard to plan for moving targets, though.
