About 2 years ago, before they started really resting the Starships, a local guy drove down there and basically drove through the gates, right up to a short fence. He could nearly reach over and touch one of the starships sitting there waiting for testing.
The point of his article was that right *then*, you could basically stand next to history because SpaceX was so lasse faire about everything. He mentioned that once the first starship was going to be tested, everything would change, they'd become very by-the-books, and you'd never have that opportunity again.
