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.

Just showed some amazing close ups off the catch on the SpaceX feed.

I can't believe they actually had buoy cameras out there for the landing (and that it hit the mark).

I wonder how far off we are from reflying a booster. Obviously the Ship is going to take some work, but the Booster looks like it's close to ready for operations.

Nice views! Were those just from a phone camera?

Sucker really came in at an angle. I was afraid it was going to hit the tower.

Best view of the precision gimballing I've seen:

I keep re-watching this and can't believe my eyes... This is f*cking insane!

Yes. I was with my wife and her SpaceX colleagues on premises SpaceX owns (and have constructed employee river houses along the Rio Grande).

Although, there are also other spots right there accessible to the public for a ticket fee. For example:

When the adrenaline wears off at some point this morning, it will be nap time. And then party time back at Starbase this evening. It should be a rager for the history books after this show!
