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.

Whatever happened - it was really weird. Oh, and fuel for the conspiracy theorists:

@ashwin7002 @NASA @faa @AFPAA We have not ruled that out.

It's just an illustration of the concept, but here's the plan for Mars.



Elon's talk is supposedly being broadcast here at 1:30pm CT.

After reviewing footage of the explosion, WaPo reports that SpaceX noticed an "odd shadow, then a white spot" on the roof of a nearby building owned by United Launch Alliance, an old-school rocket-launching company that competes with SpaceX on military contracts. The building has a clear line of sight to the launchpad where SpaceX's rocket exploded, WaPo notes.

Stop this shit. It's very likely that they've got a root cause analysis tree for realized risks that has "sabotage" as one of its branches. As all the other possible root causes get crossed off the list, you've got to take a serious look at it at some point.

I HIGHLY doubt this is sabotage.

Money to anyone who asks him why Andy Reid is such a sh*t play-caller when the Chiefs have the lead.

They've got a long way to go, but I think I'd take a vacation to Florida to try and watch that thing launch.
