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.

Views don't look like they're going to be near as good today. Pretty cloudy/foggy

Dammit if they had waited just 5 more minutes the sky would've cleared enough for me to see it. As it is, when the clouds parted all that's left is the smoke trail.

This landing video DaFace posted should be 100% MANDATORY in ALL schools to show how great American technology is. This is what we should be teaching our children about! Big dreams and even bigger achievements.

Instead we have douchebag Liberal teachers giving 10 year old kids homework assignments calling Trump names and trying to indoctrinate them with bullshit.

Makes me more sad than angry.....

I apologize and don't mean to hijack a great thread. Will delete post if need to.
I'll only say that I don't really think it's a good example of a partisan issue. I'm pretty left-leaning, for example, and I think this shit is fantastic. My hope is that we can all agree that stuff is important and worth investing in regardless of political leanings.
