Trump attends SpaceX Starship launch with Musk in Texas

theguardian.com — November 19, 2024 at 11:01 PM UTC

Donald Trump attended the SpaceX Starship rocket launch in Texas alongside Elon Musk. This event marks the sixth test flight for Starship, following its first successful mission in June, where it reached nearly 130 miles in altitude. Musk expressed honor at having Trump present, highlighting their close relationship. Trump’s upcoming decisions on U.S. space policy could significantly impact SpaceX, which already has substantial government contracts and is involved in NASA's lunar missions. SpaceX plans to conduct future Starship test flights almost monthly. The rocket is designed to be more powerful than the Saturn V, capable of lifting 165 tons into space.
