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.

Why don't they just slow down the ISS to get a better launch window, say in the morning?

It sucks, but I understand the super anal level of caution. If they have a Challenger incident on their first attempted manned launch, we'll be sending our guys up through Russia for the next ten years.

This is probably a dumb guy question, but why can't they just pause the count for 15 minutes or so and then go?

Asking CP because of course we have a bunch of rocket surgeons here

They're aiming for the ISS, which is moving. If you don't launch at the right time, you miss the station. All ISS launches will have an instantaneous launch windows (which basically means they have to launch at the exact second or not at all).
