Space Exploration megathread

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.

The videos of the launch are terrible. They in no way show how cool this launch looked at the Space Coast.

I can imagine. This pic looks like it must've been a gorgeous night to watch it.

Barring any setbacks in the next few days, we should be on track for the CRS-8 (ISS resupply mission) launch Friday at 4:43pm EST.

Sounds like they're trying for the barge landing again on this one even though they could RTLS just because they're tired of not making it.

T-5 hours. I actually won't be on during the launch itself this time (meeting until 3pm Mountain), but hopefully I can keep up with it covertly.

I'm feeling optimistic about this one.

I sure hope so. This is one they could technically bring back to land instead of using the barge, but I think they're tired of the barge not working, so they're doing it that way just to prove it can be done.

Sure would be nice to get that one under their belts so they can stop worrying so much about landing and start worrying about re-launching!

Also, FWIW, this one is an instantaneous launch window (as all ISS launches are), so it'll go at 4:43 EST or it won't go at all.

--

Another FWIW, this is a NASA launch, so you can watch coverage on NASA TV in addition to the typical SpaceX webcast. I think they start coverage way earlier if you want more, though I find their style to be pretty dry.
