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 be hilariously sad if they have to scrub for one single cloud.

Cool that they're doing RTLS with the booster. I think that's new for crewed launches.

Yep, that's what they said. I wasn't even nervous on this one. Crazy.

Yeah, I saw the other day that the Falcon family has hit 200 successful launches in a row. It's incredible how reliable the system has become.

SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, May 30 at 11:02 p.m. PT (06:02 UTC on May 31) for a Falcon 9 launch of 52 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. If needed, a backup opportunity is available on Wednesday, May 31 at 10:48 p.m. PT (05:48 UTC on June 1).

The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched Crew-1, Crew-2, SXM-8, CRS-23, IXPE, Transporter-4, Transporter-5, Globalstar FM15, ISI EROS C-3, and four Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff.
