SpaceX prepares for sixth Starship test flight with possible attendance from Donald Trump

insider.com — November 19, 2024 at 03:01 PM UTC

SpaceX is preparing for the sixth test flight of its Starship spacecraft on Tuesday. The company will attempt to catch the booster rocket using its "Mechazilla" launch tower. This follows a successful fifth launch in October. Reports indicate that President-elect Donald Trump may attend the launch alongside Elon Musk. Their close relationship has been highlighted by their recent appearances together, including at a UFC event. Musk aims to send humans to Mars by the end of the decade, with uncrewed missions planned for 2026. However, regulatory challenges remain, particularly concerning the environmental impact of Starship launches.
