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.

Looks like they're progressing toward an attempt. No clue on actual timing, but I might guess an hour or so?

Looks like it. I'm watching and will bump if they get to prop loading.

I can't stand the constant panhandling and stupid nicknames, but the LP 4K feed is nice. Just mute the idiots.

No, "Starship" is 160 feet in height. That's what we are watching. When combined with Super Heavy, it'll be 400 feet.

Ah ok, super heavy is the first stage if they’re going to the moon.
