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.

Would it ever be worth it to move launches to Hawaii or Guam?

You do gain a little bit of orbital velocity on those compared to Florida, but it's fairly minor. I think the biggest reason why you don't see any launches out there is that it'd be a major PITA to get the rockets themselves out there.

As of Friday morning, the 45th Space Wing, an arm of the US military that oversees all East Coat rocket launches, predicts about a 50% chance of the weather holding up enough for launch on Saturday. And the odds are slightly better — about a 60% chance — for the next opportunity for liftoff on Sunday, May 31, at 3:00 p.m. ET.

I suppose the good news is that that means they have about an 80% chance of getting off the ground one day or the other.

They weren't messing around with this one. (Fast forward to 0:30 for the boom.)



Gonna be a bit before they'll be testing again, I'd guess. The test pad looks to be pretty much destroyed.

That's a successful test. It's what tests are for.

I seriously doubt that they care in the least. It's a completely different vehicle that is nowhere near production.
