Allow precise destinations when launching rockets

Feature Description
When the launchpad multiblock is formed, add a button in the rocket scanner UI that allows you to specify that specific multiblock as a destination so that if you launch a rocket from somewhere else, you can have it land specifically at the desired launch pad. This destination (if supplied) could take priority over the more generic coordinates based landing destinations.
Alternately, you could have a system where you can import/export coordinates from chat or similar means, so that you could define a specific destination even if you’ve never been there personally yet. I could see this being useful in a multiplayer scenario where you want to launch a rocket to a destination that someone else gives you the coordinates for (or perhaps supplies some kind of equivalent destination code).
This might also allow for rockets as a mode of transportation intra-dimensionally. As an enhancement of incentivizing rockets as a mode of transport, maybe add some kind of inventory block that can be either loaded or unloaded with automation (conveyors/robot arms maybe?) or can be manually interacted with like a normal inventory, perhaps as part of the normal rocket UI where you dump fuel.
