Read our privacy policy Kai Trump captured an awkward moment between her grandfather Donald Trump and Space X boss Elon Musk during his SpaceX rocket launch earlier this month. The sixth Starship flight test saw SpaceX once again attempt to catch the rocket’s Super Heavy booster using “chopstick” arms at the launch tower at the company’s Starbase facility. Kai, who was filming her behind-the-scenes vlog for X and YouTube, captured the moment that Musk informed Trump that the booster wouldn’t be able to return to the launch site after the mission director called off the catch four minutes into the launch. “We have better versions which are in production in those factories over there.” Musk, however, later said that SpaceX had a contingency plan if the booster didn’t blow up.
