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.

Flight 5 as soon as early to mid July?!



It will be bonkers down here for the inaugural Mechazilla catch of a Starship Booster stage. Fingers crossed for Flight 5/Booster 12.

I think they should try an actual landing before trying the chopsticks...



Hadn't heard this until today:

Next would come a ship engine cutoff and a nominal Suborbital insertion, Meaning Ship 29 hit the correct trajectory. Shortly after, Booster 11 would start up the inner 13 engines for an initial landing burn before switching to the inner three.

However, just after ignition, Engine 8 in the inner ring of 10 exploded, but the booster kept on going.

On one of the feeds, I saw a bunch of crap flying up from SH. Guess it was engine bits.

Booster can't land, it doesn't have legs. It's either pretend land over the ocean (which it just did), or chopsticks.

That's pretty over the top. They're working on understanding some issues, and it would be better if those issues weren't happening, but they've insisted that they could come home today if they had to. In theory at least, they're just taking this time to try and understand the issues now since the trunk would burn up on the way down.

Maybe it ends up being more than that, but they've been pretty firm that it's not.
