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.

NASA's budget is 22 billion or thereabouts.

HHS budget is over 60 billion and Social Security spending is over 1 Trillion. I'd say we are 'helping' people...far more than what they're doing in space.

Of course, lets not forget that SpaceX is not federally funded to begin with.

Your banning is completely fine, just because that poster is that stupid.

Saw some sort of debris on the left side of screen a bit before entry burn started on the booster. Interesting, wonder what it was.

Looks like they missed the landing...

Will have to try to prop up that 50th booster landing next time.

Looked back at the debris, it looked like a cable of some sort that was on the booster that detached and then cartwheeled off. I am guessing it is something that is supposed to detach, but never saw it before on other booster re-entries.

Mad Mike Hughes just launched himself in a self-made steam-powered rocket and crash landed. Very likely did not survive. #MadMike #MadMikeHughes pic.twitter.com/svtviTEi8f
