Hello everyone,

This is a topic to let people share their own favorite science/space information sites.

I start with a couple of pretty obvious ones:

http://www.space.com

http://spacenews.com

In the market for launch vehicle statistics? http://www.spacelaunchreport.com/ is low-key but highly detailed. Running tallies updated closely after every launch, viewable by year, by decade, by vehicle, and more. Detailed logging started in 1998, but the all-time log has vehicles all the way back to the ICBM's of the late 50's. Also includes international vehicles, such as Iran's and Israel's. Basically, if something went to space anytime after 1957, it's there.

Whenever the discussion turns towards reliability of rocket XYZ, that's my go-to source
