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.

Flare lit and siren sounding, so earliest possible launch is about 10 minutes from now.

Alternative view. Turn the volume down though as the guy is quite annoying.

That engine's flame plume is crazy to watch. Looks so pretty.

It changed appearance right before touchdown, much brighter and more yellow. I'm curious to know if that was just a result of throttle change or if something else caused that, like ground interference.

Might be a repost, but here's a video explaining why the Raptor is so special:

Did you watch Tim's stream or just the SpaceX stream? Kind of hilarious hearing Tim scream with excitement. :-)
