Is the Dragon vehicle large enough to mantain social distancing?  :P

NASA / SpaceX are an essential service and have continued working throughout.

It's not possible to send a camera up and Zoom in. Has to be human.

All the technicians are all wearing masks (yes I'm watching the livestream)

By the way, it makes me giggle every time they call the astronauts "Bob and Doug".  Take off, eh.

Damn that's annoying, I was looking forward to that one bit of good news amongst today's continuing stupid shit, care of the usual suspects.

Can't blame them though:

Yeah we have one of those insanely big Texas thunderstorms pounding my house as I type.

But delaying space launches is just how it goes.

Completely off topic but I remember one of those from my childhood on the prairies.  I would like to see one again.

I miss them. :(
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Meanwhile, in Poland.

Was cannibalism ever widespread in Poland?

Well I guess it is good they found some positives about Poland's time as part of European Empires. Glad they stopped the cannibalism.

Emphasis aside, I doubt imperialism was a 100% bad, things seldom are.

For example, communism in Hungary was a very clear net negative, yet it lifted countless people out of the most abject poverty and illiteracy in a pretty short timeframe. Sure, it then proceeded to prevent most of them from ever progressing past that, but still.
