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.

Can't wait until space flight is cheap enough so we can launch a bunch of worthless turds into the sun.

Wispy clouds to the west were not a friend this time. Caught a glimpse of the ISS for about 10 to 15 seconds to the West - NW, but that was it.

Maybe tomorrow night, if they are not hooked up already.

Yep.

EDIT: In case it's helpful to clarify, there are Draco thrusters (which are the same as they've used on Dragon V1) and SuperDraco engines (which are used for launch abort situations). They use the former to maneuver in space - the latter are just for emergencies (though they had originally hoped to use them for propulsive landing instead).
