    Fairly certain it is always restricted airspace.

    When I was a kid I was in a small single engine plane and we got fouled up due to weather, strong pop up storms and no viz.
    Flew right over the launch pad and could see a space ship sitting out there. I recall vaguely some traffic controllers on the headset advising strongly for us to turn around but we just kept on truckin right over and I believe a couple fighters were scrambled. Pre 9/11.

    I just saw a buddy who stopped in Edisto yesterday for the first time in a long while. He's an engineer and does a lot of work with SpaceX. He's getting ready to go out there to do something with a component they make that's involved with that falcon 9 thingy.

    This flight was scrubbed for an obstruction “most likely an airplane”.

    “… duckhunting stands alone as an outdoor discipline. It has a tang and spirit shared by no other sport—a philosophy compounded of sleet, the winnow of unseen wings, and the reeks of marsh mud and wet wool. No other sport has so many theories, legends, casehardened disciples and treasured memories.”
