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.

Last time, they strategically didn't show it live just in case things...happen. We only got launch video later.

I believe the first shot was when the zero G indicator started floating. I'm pretty sure I read that they went back and edited in the cabin footage to the launch webcast on YouTube.

And now a slow, largely uninteresting ride for the next 27 hours.

I'll at least tune into the press conference in an hour or two. Gwynne attended since Elon couldn't, so presumably she'll be at the press conference. She's always good to listen to.

They do a number of burns en route. Plus some orbital mechanics.
