Trump and DeChambeau Witness SpaceX Starship Launch in Texas

SpaceX canceled its attempt to catch the Super Heavy booster during the latest Starship launch due to automated health checks triggering an abort. The booster instead performed a soft splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico. SpaceX aims to gather data from these tests to improve the Starship system's reliability and plans to attempt another catch after one more ocean landing. The recent launch provided valuable insights into the flight hardware's performance, contributing to SpaceX's goal of achieving full and rapid reusability.
