Musk launches SpaceX Starship test flight with Trump

Texas: SpaceX's most powerful rocket launched into space from Texas. Elon Musk and President-elect Donald Trump were also present at the launch.

Previously, five Starship test flights have been conducted, and the rocket crashed due to a technical fault on the 5th flight.

The world's richest man Elon Musk's company 'SpaceX' has fixed the technical faults in the rocket called Starship that were revealed in the previous launch, due to which Starship V crashed in the Gulf of Mexico a few minutes after its test flight.

After the disaster of Starship V, SpaceX also made various changes to its design and fixed the technical faults.

According to the news agency, this is the largest and most powerful rocket ever built, which had its sixth flight today.

SpaceX's 400-foot-tall Starship mega-rocket lifted off from the orbiting launch pad at the company's Starbase site in South Texas at 5:00pm local time.

Donald Trump also watched the rocket's flight, after the US president-elect earlier this month selected Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head a new 'Department of Government Efficiency' (DoGE).

Trump said the pair would serve in an advisory capacity and that DoGE would not be a government department.
