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.

Expect the FAA license to be granted Friday, ahead of Sunday’s Starship Flight 5.

Nothing to do with DC or politics, this is simply the FAA moving too slowly to keep up with the pace of the likes of SpaceX, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab and other companies working very hard to get us to where we need to be. Publish something that says how long approval will take, make sure it's fair, set a deadline to approve, and if the FAA can't meet the published timetable for approval the launch event is automatically approved. Furthermore, if the answer is no, they need to publish why, and let their reason stand the test of public scrutiny.

Can't foresee any problems as a result of this brilliant idea.

Safety is not on his list of priorities.

If anyone cares, the aurora borealis has arrived in the greater K.C. metro area, again.

How will @SpaceX catch Starship's Super Heavy booster with a giant robotic tower? Here's my full video giving you a rundown on how exactly they plan to do this daring catch maneuver!!! #IFT5 pic.twitter.com/wNi1Vlw89w

From what I hear, and this is of course subject to change, the FAA could grant SpaceX a license tomorrow, allowing the company to launch Starship on Sunday. pic.twitter.com/GQItrZLpRL

Equipped with state-of-the-art instruments, the spacecraft will gather data about the moon’s surface, ice structure, and potential water plumes. These observations will help scientists understand Europa’s composition and its potential for harboring life beneath its ice-covered ocean​.

Europa Clipper's payload includes a range of scientific tools such as ice-penetrating radar, spectrometers, and thermal imaging systems, which will help reveal the moon’s internal structure and composition. The spacecraft will be protected from Jupiter’s intense radiation by a specially designed vault to shield its electronics. With its enormous solar arrays, the spacecraft is also one of the largest NASA has ever built for a planetary mission​.

The launch date is currently targeted for Monday, October 14, 2024 at 4:06 PM (UTC).

To say I'm freaking excited about #SpaceX's Starship Flight Test 5 (tomorrow &#128591:-) is a gross understatement.

I've created a web game inspired by the upcoming SpaceX Mechazilla's booster catch, happening on Oct 13th. Check it out and try landing the booster yourself at https://t.co/ZGehc2og83 👀 #mechazillaio #SpaceX #mechazilla #starship #IndieGame #gamedev
