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.

The second stage has a gas vent that I don't remember seeing in the one view.

CONTACT AND CAPTURE! CRS-21 Dragon has arrived at the ISS.

The first Dragon 2 Cargo vehicle, parked next to Crew Dragon Resilience. The first time two Dragons have been at the ISS at the same time.

Road closure is from 8:00 a.m Central [14:00 UTC] until 5:00 p.m. Central [23:00 UTC]. So launch wouldn't happen until 9:00 a.m. at the earliest, more likely 10:00 a.m., but nothing has ever happened before noon on Starship.

Not as exciting as Starship, perhaps, but it looks like ULA is giving the Delta IV Heavy launch another go on Thursday. (This is the one that had two pad aborts back in like September.)

The launch of a ULA #DeltaIVHeavy carrying the #NROL44 mission for the @NatReconOfc is targeted for Thurs., Dec. 10, pending range availability. The launch period is 5:50-10:30 p.m. EST.
