SpaceX prepares for Starship launch and booster catch with chopsticks in Texas

SpaceX is set to launch its Starship system on November 19 from Texas, aiming to catch the Super Heavy booster with its "chopsticks" after liftoff. This follows a successful test flight in October where the booster was caught midair. President-elect Donald Trump will attend the event alongside SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. This marks a quick turnaround for SpaceX, which is working on developing a reusable launch system for future missions, including NASA's Artemis program. The Federal Aviation Administration has approved the flight, stating it meets all safety and licensing requirements. A successful test could lead to more ambitious projects, including long-duration flight tests planned for 2025.
