Trump Plans to Attend Musk’s SpaceX Launch

“President-elect Donald Trump plans to attend a SpaceX launch in Texas on Tuesday, in yet another demonstration of the billionaire Elon Musk’s increasing closeness to the incoming president,” the New York Times reports.

“SpaceX will be conducting its sixth test of its Starship rocket, the largest and most powerful rocket ever built, which it soon hopes to use to deliver more of its Starlink communications satellites into orbit and to carry NASA astronauts to the moon. Eventually, Mr. Musk wants to use Starship to take humans to Mars.”
