Donald Trump is reportedly planning to attend SpaceX's sixth Starship launch attempt, known as Flight 6, in Starbase, Texas, tomorrow. Multiple sources indicate that Trump will join Elon Musk to witness the event, potentially marking the first time a U.S. president has attended such a launch. SpaceX plans to test the landing capture system of its Super Heavy booster, while the upper stage will continue to a splashdown in the Indian Ocean.
