President-elect Donald Trump is expected to attend SpaceX's sixth Starship launch attempt on November 19 at Starbase, Texas, joining Elon Musk to witness the event. The launch will test the landing capture system of the Super Heavy booster, with the upper stage continuing to a splashdown in the Indian Ocean. Temporary flight restrictions have been issued for the area due to 'VIP movement'. The New York Times and Orlando Sentinel report that Trump plans to attend, marking the first time a U.S. president will witness a SpaceX launch in person.
