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.

I updated the OP with the current target for the next launch (2/28 late night), but I'm gonna be floored if they actually turn the pad around in 8 days with a brand new system in place.

I'm hoping they do, but mainly because I want to see the SES-10 launch happen as quickly as possible. I really want that to happen in March and not slip to April. A quick turnaround for Echostar 23 would be a good sign.

Apparently the FH launch will be from SLC-40, so waiting for repairs to complete.

Kind of odd. Sounds like there's some sort of software issue that is easily corrected, but has resulted in a 24-hour delay. Not ideal, but glad it can be fixed easily.

Echostar 23 now Mar 12. Hoping SES-10 doesn't slip to April.

Damn - that's quite a slip. Not surprising, though.

They really need to get SLC-40 back up and running in a hurry so they can truck through all of these launches.

I absolutely love the fact that the landing of the booster has become routine.

Heck, we're almost at the point where the launches are routine.

Yeah, they really seem to have the landing thing down at this point. Sadly, the next launch will be the first one in a LONG time that's been in fully-expendable mode (due to payload requirements).

At this point, I'm mostly excited to see them re-launch one. That should happen in late-March or early-April.


(Oh, and Falcon Heavy is gonna be a sight to see too, but I'll honestly be surprised to see that happen in 2017.)
