SpaceX gets clearance to begin resupply missions to the International Space Station in October. Pumpkin Lager INC.
SpaceX is going to be bringing the fucking pumpkin spice to space this October. At least, that is what I would be doing if I was running the resupply missions during such a season. Getting ripped to the tits, staring at the Blue Marble from afar.
The SpaceX Dragon Capsule Has Docked With The ISS. This Rules.
SpaceX’s Dragon Capsule has successfully docked with the International Space Station. This is seventy shades of cool for us space-worshiping lads and lasses.
SpaceX Succesfully Blasts Off!; Is ISS Bound. Yeah, Commercial Space Pursuits!
After a last second cancellation on Saturday, SpaceX has finally launched its Dragon capsule outside the reach of Mother Earth’s gravi-guts. Huzzah!
SpaceX Making Another Launch Attempt Tomorrow At 3:44 AM EST
SpaceX had to cancel its attempted launch on Saturday at quite literally the last second. We ain’t talking the overused, played out notion of the word. They crushed the attempt with a second left, due to concerns over valves and uh, things. Tomorrow they’re going to give it another go.
SpaceX Is Ready For Saturday’s Historic Launch; Commercial Space Domination!
If the Gods smile upon everything tomorrow as we suspect they will, the day will mark the launch of Dragon capsule and Falcon 9 rocket. Gods further willing, the son of a bitch will dock with the ISS for the first of many, many times.

NASA Lost A Laptop With Unencrypted Space Station Codes. Cold War Heats Up!
Don’t pay any attention to the last half of the headline. It’s just my Cold War-obsessed brain making something more interesting out of the fact that NASA has exercised their rocket scientist brilliance by losing a laptop. Chock full of unencrypted space station secret info stuff.
Things.
Video: Space Station Time-Lapse Is Existential Human High-Five Time.
Check out this time lapse taken aboard the ISS that everyone and their momma is chatting about today. Phenomenal shit. The glory of the cosmos juxtaposed with evidence of mankind’s technological movement. We ain’t done much, but we ain’t done nothin‘.
Or something.
Video: Inside The International Space Station During A Reboost. I Am Jealousy.
Every so often, the International Space Station has to reboost itself to a higher altitude, because of wonky things like microgravity drag (I didn’t think that up) and such bringing it closer to our Watery Blue Planet. Recently, during a reboost the ISS crew videotape the effects of this altitude correction on their lovely little bodies.
Hint: they get to go for a ride.
