SpaceX plans sixth Starship test launch in Texas with Trump attending
SpaceX plans to launch its sixth Starship test on Tuesday from Texas, with President-elect Donald Trump attending. The test aims to improve the rocket's reentry and landing techniques, marking a step forward in its development for lunar and Mars missions. The launch will feature the Super Heavy booster returning to land after lifting Starship into space. This test will also include a daytime splashdown in the Indian Ocean, a change from previous nighttime attempts. Elon Musk has outlined key objectives for the flight, including engine restarts and enhanced landing visibility. SpaceX aims to catch the Super Heavy booster with launch tower arms again, following a successful attempt last month.
