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.

Well, if it were me I'd be wanting to know who engineered that thing. Also one reason I chose Hogs over being an astronaut

Probably the same people who engineered all these.

One thing about those attempts that seems funny to me is that they all end in an actual Hollywood style explosion. The movies love to portray any little impact as resulting in a big explosion but typically that’s not reality. Apparently with these rockets it is though. I guess that just shows how many different pieces of equipment are involved with a wide variety of sensitive combinations of explosives and combustable materials.

Never gets old. And I just noticed that on the first successful drone ship landing, the leg on the right deploys much later than the other two.

I suspect rocket fuel is a tad more explosive than your average E85 we put in our cars. A car explosion is very rare, but that would be boring on screen, so Hollywood juices it up a bit.

Yep. And the explosion yesterday was liquid methane. Big boom.

See, yesterday was just what we needed. Big Boom and nobody hurt.
