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.

That was the smoothest mission we've seen. Up, down, done.

While there is some level of truth to the idea that space debris is a problem, saying that it's anywhere close to "boxing us in" is silly. Hell, Elon's wanting to launch a constellation of around 4500 satellites all in one orbit.

Space is big; there's lots of room.

Thank you guys for keeping this updated, I wouldn't have a clue about any of this. I do not follow the program, but they seem to be much more advanced and aggressive than NASA ever was.

Looking around on the interwebs, we're probably in for a break of around 3 weeks. I'll put the Iridium launch on 10/4 in the OP, but there's a chance that SES-11 will happen first. Time will tell.

Oh, this was the OTV mission? I'm glad that it panned out.

Not as secretive as the NROL-76 mission, where we didn't even know what was inside the fairing.

NROL-76 (in April) was a classified launch. We never got any information about what it is that they were launching, though people can guess that it was a LEO launch at least.

For this one (this morning), we know that it was the X-37 "space plane" going up, and we know that it was going to LEO. We just don't know what it's doing while it's up there.
