Elon Musk's SpaceX launched its giant Starship rocket to space from Texas on Tuesday, advancing the ship's spaceflight abilities but botching an attempt to bring its booster back to land as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump watched from the company's rocket facilities.

President-elect Donald Trump has landed in the Lone Star State and is joining Elon Musk, and a group of Senators, and his son, Donald Trump Jr., to watch the SpaceX launch.

The billionaire has rapidly transformed parts of the state, shocking even development-friendly officials: “It was like, ‘Voilà, Elon is here.’”
