SpaceX launches sixth Starship test flight, with Trump in attendance

LA Times  

SpaceX’s Starship lifts off from the launchpad at Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas, in 2023. SpaceX launched its Starship rocket system on its sixth test flight Tuesday, with Donald Trump in attendance at the company’s Texas launchpad. The nearly 400-foot-tall structure — which features the Starship spacecraft stacked on top of a Super Heavy booster — lifted off flawlessly at 2 p.m. Pacific Standard Time from Starbase, the company’s Brownsville, Texas-area facility next to the Gulf of Mexico. The booster completed a controlled splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico but was unable to complete a return to the launchpad, where it was to be caught by giant mechanical arms, called “chopsticks,” attached to the launch tower — a remarkable feat first attempted and achieved on Starship’s fifth test flight on Oct. 13. Good luck to Elon Musk and the Great Patriots involved in this incredible project!” the president-elect posted Tuesday on the conservative social media network Truth Social before the test flight.
