Is it normal that I am halfway to the center of the Euclid galaxy without dying? This is my first time playing it.

In creative mode, you canāt die. In normal mode, itās very difficult to die without being actively stupid and reckless. In survival mode, itās unusual to die once you get off your starting planet if youāre not careless and donāt take risks.
So yes, not dying is kinda normal for this game.

Welcome to the forum @Zephyr ! As @jedidia just stated, it depends on what mode you are playing in. Expedition 7 has been a challenge for some. Normal mode is not very dangerous though.

I might just be outta the loop, I havenāt been to many abandoned stations recently but, I just noticed this detail when landing on one today. I donāt remember them having unique marker names and ship welcome screens. I wonder when these were addedā¦

I noticed that too and do not recall it either. Interesting that is says welcome home.

News Alert!
Apparently HG made a bundle on Steam temporarily yesterday, then hid it from the steam store. Itās still linked with NMS on SteamDB though. Internal also updated 2 hours ago.

Even funnier, it says āWelc0me home?ā with a h4cker style number in it. If you are the hacker, you are home now, any one elseā¦ question mark. 
Some of the abandoned stations are now of course occupied by pirates, I need to pay closer attention, maybe they say āAhoy mateyā now?

So! With this recent Switch launch date announcement, Iāve seen a lot of discussion regarding Cross Save capabilities for No Manās Sky, so I thought Iād throw my ring in and discuss the possibilities!
There are a few technical details for a Cross Save system to work. It boils down to A) The game clientās serialisation of data and B) The Serverās capability of relaying that data.
No Manās Sky has (to my knowledge) the exact same codebase across platforms, to the point where PS4 and Xbox graphics overrides exist and can be toggled on PC. This indicates that the gameās base save format (JSON) is the same across devices.
If this is true, then the game engine cam very easily deserialize a save file to raw JSON and convert it to any other platform specific format!
Now onto B. From what I and a team of very knowledgeable players of the game have discovered about Hello Gamesāservers and networking API (More info on that coming soon), it is absolutely possible for the servers to send and receive JSON data.
Take for example the Expedition files, which are sent in their entirety in JSON format through the servers. These files are pretty massive, so HGās server infrastructure is quite strong.
Now, weāve seen from the twitch campaigns that Hello Games can tie specific platform accounts to a twitch ID on a backend server. Using what we know about the authentication system right now, it could definitely be possible for HG to link other platform IDs together.
This would allow for one game client (with a synced ID of another platform) to deserialize itās file format to raw JSON, for the server to then reserialize it to the target platform, and send it to the target platform when needed.
The reason why I think HG hasnāt attempted this before is that their server system was most likely developed for quick data storage and retrieval. The recent expedition cloud update and community missions have improved on their server infrastructure, but it still runs a lot of basic functions.
I do believe that HG could easily implement cross save functionality, and as theyāve hinted at better moderation tools in the near past, they may indeed be working on a serverside upgrade which could include cross save functionality.

Hmmā¦ I may be tripping but, I swear when I was looking at the trailer playlist earlier today, it listed 27 videos, and now it shows 28 with 1 hidden video, and an āUpdated Todayā tag
