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.

Eh, they've worked with them before, so they've got a relationship, but this suggests to me that they've still got tech issues going on, which is troubling.

Hearing the LOX sat too long and caused ice build-up on the wessel. Couldn't get the lift so aborted.

And risks like this are insured.

I could buy that. Hope it's minor enough that they can try again tomorrow.

4th time's a charm?

The ships captain should be keel-hauled!

The additional cost should be deferred to that damned ship. We'd be in orbit otherwise.

Now NOT scrubbed. 51m left on launch window. This is all over the place.

No joke. At this rate, I almost wish they would just scrub. I'll be holding my breath expecting it to blow up if they go for it tonight still.

50 minutes still left to the launch window. Could still go tonight.

And NOW we're scrubbed. Watching rocket launches takes a lot of effort sometimes. :-)

Just Scrubbed for the night. No future date as yet.

@SpaceX Launch aborted on low thrust alarm. Rising oxygen temps due to hold for boat and helium bubble triggered alarm.

So the boat is at fault, but the supercooled LOX is just more susceptible to issues like this.

The boat owner is apparently getting slammed via twitter.
