Musk launches SpaceX Starship with Trump attending
SpaceX on Tuesday conducted its sixth test of the Starship rocket in Brownsville, Texas.
The event, held near the SpaceX site in Boca Chica, was attended by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
Unlike previous tests, SpaceX did not employ its “chopstick” technique to recover the rocket booster.
Donald Trump, his son Donald Jr., and Republican Senator Ted Cruz were present at the launch.
This event underscores Musk’s increasing connectivity with Trump.
