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.

Oh, I could easily work remotely for work. It's more that that launch will probably be a moving target, and I don't think I could take Florida for more than a week or so.

Atlas V went up today. Who knew?



Sorry for the derail. Launches are becoming more routine.

Full-length test fire of the one from May (not the one they're planning to re-fly). Kind of cool.

Na, as came up earlier in the thread, any cool stuff about space is welcome. It's just that it's hard to get excited about a lot of the other companies as much since it's kind of same ol' same 'ol every time.

That thrust must have rotated earth a bit. It's 2 minutes later now.

Next launch has a date - late night August 13th (early morning August 14th). OP is updated with the new info.

I believe the last one of these kinds of satellites (JCSAT) was the first one they were able to land on the barge after launching to GTO. So it'll be another one "coming in hot". Hopefully they will have learned something from the last one that ran out of fuel a bit early.

Meant share this prior. Great app for tracking launches.

That looks strangely fake. Like CGI special effects or something. Here's a short article about the HDR and a still image from a normal camera to compare to. Very cool.
