SpaceX lost another Starship shorlty after launch in Texas during Flight 8 and we're seeing flights now begin to divert/manuever possibly due to the potential risk of debris off the coast of Florida into the Altantic.

I spent a couple of days helping out with coverage of the LA fires. The destruction is so widespread it’s hard to grasp. The fire can be cruelly uneven, leaving a home relatively unscathed while the next door burns to the ground.
