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.

Had some beautiful views over the weekend. I'm lucky living in the country is SD though. My lazy city friends haven't made the effort to see it yet.

Headed up to Big Bear this weekend to sip whiskey on a deck at the top of the mountain and look for the comet that hasn't been here in 7000 years. That's Mesopotamia and they worshiped lizard beings which when I put the signs together that tells me Sammy Watkins is gonna have a great year.

This is a little long, but here's a nice overview of how Perseverance compares to Curiosity. First chance for launch is early (7:50am EDT) on Thursday. It'll be on NASA TV.

I've seen the comet a few times, but during work, so I haven't had a good chance to really look at it or take a picture. Turns out that old commercial twin turboprop aircraft aren't great platforms for taking pictures of celestial bodies. Go figure.

Hoping to find some clear sky tomorrow night, take my scope and my camera for a spin.

This won't quite have the "pucker factor" of the manned launch, but man...I hope it goes well. Lots of super cool tech on this one.

You definitely get a little spoiled by SpaceX's production quality, but she's off!
