SpaceX’s Starship rocket will be launched for a sixth test flight next week, the latest experiment by the Elon Musk-owned aerospace firm to create reusable spacecraft after a previous test resulted in a “seminal moment” for the company.

This latest flight aims to build on the successes of previous tests while introducing new objectives to enhance the rocket's capabilities.

Donald Trump is reportedly planning to attend the launch of Elon Musk’s Starship. The president-elect was expected to travel to the Texas launch facility on Tuesday after the Federal Aviation Administration issued temporary flight restrictions over the area, which coincide with the take-off.
