The video you linked wasn't the xbox player's first contact btw, that was just a decent video of it happening to someone else for people to have a good watch

I would have gone and tried this out for myself but I am on my way to Beagle Point and only have 34K Ly to go so not turning around now, when I am half way there.

Have fun out there! I spent a few days doing sightseeing and exploring at Sag-A and a few other nice nebula(s?) It's a great tour but I ran out of waypoints quite quickly as I was tracking my journey and Points of Interest.

Lots of jump-honk-scoop-jump on the way back though as I was itching for some interaction. I'll probably have to do one more exploration run to rank up to Elite.
I'm very glad I didn't run into any trouble or any of these bad boys!
