Abstract
- SpaceX is preparing to launch its Starship rocket from South Texas, with a test mission that includes an attempt to catch the Super Heavy booster midair with mechanical arms. The rocket is designed to be fully reusable and aims to revolutionize SpaceX's business plan by being cheaper to fly than other rockets on the market. The launch will also test an updated heat shield for the rocket's return plunge through the atmosphere, with the goal of eventually enabling frequent flights to space. President-elect Donald Trump is expected to visit the launch site, highlighting the close relationship between SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and the Trump administration. [Extracted from the article]
