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.

Still no official announcement about what went wrong with AMOS-6, but presumably that will be coming soon.

Related to this thread, apparently the Russians lost their ISS-bound resupply mission today. It's not been a good couple of years for ISS missions. :-)

That article doesn't say anything about lost lives so this was an unmanned resupply ship?

Launch moving due to high winds and rains at Vandenberg. Other range conflicts this week results in next available launch date being Jan 14.

So when do we start terraforming Mars?

It's been ages since they've launched from the west coast. Seems weird these days not to have the lightning towers in the shot.

Here's hoping that they don't pump diesel into the unleaded tank again.
