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.

It's all good, I'd rather wait than have a catastrophic failure.

But seriously, a little duct tape goes a long way when fixing rocket leaks..
Eh, it's just a different approach. SpaceX has had plenty of hydrogen issues (including an explosion during a test fire a month or so ago that damaged some engines). We're just more used to stuff blowing up when SpaceX does it.

It doesn't blow up, they have a rapid, unplanned disintegration.

Kennedy Space Center, Florida (CNN)NASA will not pursue a launch of Artemis I for the remainder of the launch period, which ends on Tuesday, according to an update from the agency after a second scrubbed launch attempt Saturday.

Future launch periods, including those in September and October, depend on what the team decides early next week, but this results in a minimum of delays consisting of at least several weeks.

"We will not be launching in this launch period," said Jim Free, associate administrator for NASA's Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate. "We are not where we wanted to be."

Free said the stack, including the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft, has to roll back into the Vehicle Assembly Building, unless they get a waiver from the range, which is run by the US Space Force.

Sounds like NASA's facing some tough decisions, either rush'ish fixes while on the pad or scrub until October and possibly face hurricane issues that might be around by that time of year.

Ugh...

Heading back to the the VAB...

The launch of NASA's Artemis "mega moon rocket" has been pushed out more than a month, likely to mid-October, after Saturday's (Sept. 3) second launch attempt was canceled because of an engine leak.

The gigantic Artemis 1 rocket — made up of the Orion capsule perched atop the 30-story Space Launch System (SLS) — will be rolled back to the vehicle assembly building, and the next launch window won't open until at least early October, NASA announced (opens in new tab).

Well, Blue Origin's perfect record is no longer intact.



To be fair, it's remarkable they made it this far, and their abort system worked perfectly. If there had been humans on board, they would have been 100% fine. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes them to get going again, though.

Whoa. I just watched the BO webcast and it looked like the retros didn't fire just before capsule landing:

It's tough to tell for me. The video wasn't good since it was so far from where it was supposed to be, and the retros always fire at the very last second. My guess is it was nominal - we just couldn't see it very well.

Here's a previous landing for comparison.
