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.

Rocket is extra toasty and hit the deck hard (used almost all of the emergency crush core), but otherwise good

Yep, that's what I was talking about. Must have been off target quite a bit?

  3. Completion of the static fire (and final target date and time)
  4. Final heads-up somewhere between 2-24 hours before the launch
  5. Any particularly awesome videos or shots of the launch

Everyone still liking that flow? I still recognize that there are like 5 of us who are really involved in this thread, so I hate to bump it TOO often. (That said, it's not like there are hundreds of NHL or NBA fans around here either, so there are other threads that are similar in scope.)
The better they get, the more people will pay attention. Besides, it's a mission worthy of sharing. Bump the hell out of it.

Rocket was suddenly slammed sideways right before landing. Heavy gust or something malfunctioned onboard. Reviewing telemetry.

I love the west coast launches. The video we get from the landings are incredible.
