President-elect Trump traveled to Texas Tuesday to watch the SpaceX launch.
“I’m heading to the Great State of Texas to watch the launch of the largest object ever to be elevated, not only to Space, but simply by lifting off the ground,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Good luck to Elon Musk and the Great Patriots involved in this incredible project!”

The SpaceX Starship splashed down in the Indian Ocean at approximately 6:05 pm.
“Successful ocean landing of Starship!” Musk wrote in a post on X. “We will do one more ocean landing of the ship. If that goes well, then SpaceX will attempt to catch the ship with the tower.”
