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.

Welcome aboard!

Updated the countdown. They're aiming for 7:15am Eastern tomorrow morning. I doubt I'll make it, but who knows.

They couldn't show anything with the second stage doing its thing, but they were able to keep a ground camera on the first stage the entire time. Pretty cool to be able to see all of the adjustments it makes on the way back.

Now back to sleep for me.

T'was perfect. As always. And yeah, the classified payload cut the show 's little short. That's cool.

Those landing camera shots are incredible.

And hey!, I've been unbanned from /r/SpaceX! Lesson learned; No more saying how hot the stream host girl is.

I'd love to know what camera gear they used to get the primary stage separation and flip, now THAT'S a tele-closo lens right there! :-)

Watched it from the Cape this morning. Hell of a Sonic Boom when the rocket came back down.

Every once in a while I'll post in a launch thread. They're kind of fun if you use reddit-stream.com.

That's about it, though. They're WAY too full of themselves to have an entertaining conversation. r/spacexlounge isn't bad, but it's pretty slow-moving.
