United States President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday (local time) attended the launch of SpaceX's Starship, owned by Elon Musk. Trump was seen alongside Musk as the rocket embarked on its sixth test flight from SpaceX's expansive rocket development site in Boca Chica, Texas.

The goal of this test flight was to ensure the booster's return to the launch site for recovery, reignite a ship Raptor engine while in space, and test various heatshield experiments and manoeuvring adjustments for the spacecraft's reentry and descent over the Indian Ocean.
