President-elect Donald Trump may attend a SpaceX rocket launch in Texas on Tuesday. This follows the Federal Aviation Administration's announcement of temporary flight restrictions in the area, typical for high-profile visits. Trump's relationship with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has grown closer, with Musk advising Trump and spending time at his Mar-a-Lago club. Musk recently traveled with Trump to a UFC event in New York. The launch will be SpaceX's sixth test flight of the Starship rocket, which aims to support NASA's Artemis program for moon landings and future Mars missions. SpaceX will attempt to catch the rocket's booster after launch, a technique that has drawn Trump's interest.
