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.

Not really space exploration and not really new information, but I appreciate how they talk about rockets utilizing the gravity of wherever we're heading.

StarTalk, BTW.

NASA is set to determine the fate of two stranded astronauts tomorrow, after their ride home aboard Boeing's Starliner was deemed too risky.

Wilmore and Williams are reportedly unable to hitch a lift with a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, which regularly transports humans and cargo to the orbital outpost.

......The spacesuits Wilmore and Williams arrived in are only suitable for Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, and will not work with the Dragon vessel.The Dragon spacecraft has its own range of spacesuits that it can operate with.

Not to sound like an idiot but why couldn't they have suitable spacex suits delivered on an earlier supply flight? I have read they could be up there until February.

(Assuming they don't somehow decide to send them home on Starliner after all...)

They can and will get suits up to them. The issue with timing is that there's a crew of four who have been up there since March. There aren't extra seats on Dragon, so the priority is getting those four home.

Butch and Suni will slot in as members of the next expedition, which would launch in September with only 2 out of 4 originally-planned crew. Then that set of four would come home in March.

It's not ideal, but astronauts are trained to be able to do anything they're asked. Butch and Suni have already been doing plenty of work on station and will continue to do so.

Eric is about as good a space beat writer as there is. This sounds like a done deal to me.

Is there enough food to last with two extra people, that was my biggest question... its at least good to know that isn't an issue

Still a big ask of those two astronauts tho, thats why I admire astronauts so much... they're right there with elite James Bond/door kicking spec ops when it comes to selfless guts

Amazingly brave people

Normally they have around 6 months worth of stored food onboard, and the various cargo vehicles restock the supplies each time they visit. The intent is to have enough reserves in case some of the supply vehicles are late or crash. Minimum reserves are set at 45 days, at which point they would need to take action.
