TFR to space!

That's the first time i've seen it. Is this a SpaceX thing?

The TFR at Canaveral is usually surface to 60K. Because this one is out west, that might be the eason. Or someone just thought it was funny.

Possibly related to Burning Man, which is right in that same area and just wrapped up?

I'm guessing they are using the playa for rocketry. And a google search of Black Rock Desert and rocket seem to reveal just that.

Side note: flying in and out of Burning Man is my greatest flying experience yet. Flew the C208s in and out doing charter flights.

I live in Reno and we see that all the time here - it's for amateur rocket launches.
