SpaceX prepares for second launch of world's most powerful rocket with Trump in attendance

SpaceX is set to launch its Starship megarocket today, with President-elect Donald Trump expected to attend. This follows a successful first attempt to catch the rocket's booster stage using a launch tower mechanism. The upcoming flight aims to demonstrate the reliability of the booster catch and includes technical goals like reigniting engines in space. The launch will also feature a daylight splashdown for better visual analysis. This launch marks the quickest turnaround between test flights for the powerful rocket, which is central to Elon Musk's plans for Mars colonization and NASA's lunar missions.
