Agreed, the coverage we have nowadays is absolutely insane!

NASA is providing an awesome moon base update as we speak, pretty cool new info coming with it:



And here's some more sweet official Starship footage from SpaceX. First, the landing as viewed from their buoy cams:



Surreal in space snapshots:



Slow mo launch with the shock waves:



Awesome photographer shot of the engines at launch:

 
Some of the new NASA moon base stuff: The Blue Origin test lander I've posted about a few times is scheduled to fly later this year,, two crew (and autonomous) capable surface vehicles were selected, some drones for surface analysis, all sorts of cool stuff



Astrolab rover:



Lunar Outpost rover:



Astrobotic lander with cool payloads:

 
I was talking to an overlander while getting gas today. He witness this SpaceX launch. His discriptiion of the launch is causing me to put this on my bucket list. He said the noise was the loudest thing he has ever heard. He told me he scored a letter from the sign that was at the base of the launch pad. Gave me some tips on camping and parking.

Fffffuuuuuuuuck. That's a huge deal. This was their rapid return to flight after one of the 2nd stage engines failed to reignite on the last mission. Their recovery and cadence was looking impressive, but this one will set them back a good bit. Have to imagine tons of pad damage as well, that's a big boom.

I'm afraid with this, they might be out of commission for a good few months if not most of the year. Pad rebuilds are no joke
