Attendees of a SpaceX rocket launch in Texas shared their thoughts on how soon Elon Musk will be able to send manned or unmanned spacecraft to Mars.

Donald Trump is planning to attend the launch of Elon Musk’s Starship rocket in Texas on Tuesday, according to people familiar with the matter, a nod to the billionaire entrepreneur’s growing role in the president-elect’s political sphere.

It will mark the company's fastest turnaround yet for the rocket designed to take humans back to the moon -- and eventually Mars.

On Tuesday afternoon, president-elect Donald Trump attended his new buddy SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's rocket launch, the equivalent of an otherwise neglectful dad showing up at his son's softball game. But Musk didn't exactly hit it out of the park this time around.

Regulators have slowed the pace of Starship launches over environmental concerns, but that may be about to change.

Donald Trump said he wouldn't want to travel on one of SpaceX's Starship launches while watching its sixth test flight on November 19, according to granddaughter Kai Trump, who also attended. Kai, the 17-year-old daughter of Donald Trump Jr.

Musk's involvement in space policy raises potential conflicts of interest, and that's not the only change on the horizon.
