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.

That is a great video and works well as a companion to the book I am reading right now, The Moon by Oliver Morton.

Northrop Grumman makes history, Mission Extension Vehicle docks to target satellite me

They launched a a vehicle and parked it in the orbit where satellites that are decommissioned go. Waited for an opportunity, Docked with a sat put there in December when it ran out of fuel (even though it was not designed for docking) and put it back in service. Didn't even know they were working on this.
