SpaceX is planning a Tuesday evening test of its Starship that will be vital for future human space travel, and Donald Trump may attend.

Starship is designed to send humans back to the moon and, eventually, take them to the planet Mars. Once SpaceX is given government clearance to launch Starship, it will be used for a Polaris Dawn civilian mission and NASA’s Artemis III human-moon mission.

The company is gearing up for the sixth test flight of the megarocket, with plans to significantly step up Starship's launch cadence next year.

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.
