SpaceX's Starship is set for its sixth test launch on Tuesday at 5 p.m. EST from Boca Chica, Texas. This mission aims to catch the Super Heavy booster again, following a successful attempt last month. New upgrades to the booster’s propulsion systems are expected to improve the catch process. This launch will also test the Starship's ability to restart an engine in orbit and new thermal tiles for re-entry protection. President-elect Donald Trump will attend the launch, alongside Elon Musk and other officials. The event will be broadcast live, with preparations starting 40 minutes before liftoff.
