The first comment I saw in the live chat was "You people have it wrong, space is flat, not earth".
Well from what I’ve read the observable universe is fairly flat, but I was wondering what if we’re just living in a basin or on a plateau that extends beyond our observable reach? I suck at math though so I’ll just wait for theoretical astrophysicists to tell me interesting things on blogs.

Then we can all say we live "in the Valley"!
Not yet, not until re-entry. It's arguably the most dangerous part of the missions since launching on Falcon 9 has happened many times before. Both Soyuz and the Space Shuttle had fatal accidents on re-entry.
SpaceX's Starship will probably be a lot more tolerant to defects in the heat shield because of the relatively heat-tolerant steel underneath, but landing safely relies on the operation of massive aero surfaces and a relight of the engines with thrust vectoring. It'll be interesting to see how that goes.
It was fantastic seeing us send people back into space again.
