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.

Yep. I'm hoping that they'll have a few drones up and flying.

A little odd that they went straight to a scrub though.

Based on the map, it looks like maybe 60-75 miles from north to south.

As for Starship, the exclusion zone around the launch site itself was only 5 miles as I recall, and debris didn't get anywhere near that far out.
