Nzoner's Game Room>Space Exploration megathread
DaFace 09:40 AM 06-01-2014
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.

Random quotes from Elon from a sort of press conference today.

Press kit is up.

The timing is the most interesting to me. Max-Q happens in only 1:06, and BECO (booster engine cutoff) happens at 2:29. And almost most interestingly, all three boosters will land within 21 seconds of each other at ~8 minutes - two on land and one at sea.

My fiancé has been giving me a hard time because I have been talking nonstop about this for a week now. I have a viewing party set up at work and I may cry if this works like it should.

Too go or not was going to be a last minute thing. Planned everything, just had to pull a series of triggers to make it happen. Unfortunately, my little guy came up with a fever of 101.8. Needless to say, our plans were scrapped.

If they don't blow up the launch pad today, they could have another launch in 3-4 months.
