Trump and Musk attend SpaceX Starship launch as booster fails to land

businesstoday.in — November 20, 2024 at 04:02 AM UTC

SpaceX's Starship rocket launched successfully from Boca Chica, Texas, on Tuesday, with Donald Trump and Elon Musk in attendance. The launch marked progress in SpaceX's Mars ambitions, despite the booster failing to land as planned and exploding in the Gulf of Mexico. The Starship's second stage successfully reignited its engine in orbit and completed a daytime splashdown in the Indian Ocean. These achievements are key steps toward future crewed missions, despite the setback with the booster landing. The Federal Aviation Administration approved the launch quickly, indicating improved relations with SpaceX. This follows a recent trend of faster regulatory approvals, as the Trump administration plans to focus on space exploration initiatives.
