Former president to watch next-gen rocket test in surprise Texas visit
A special VIP flight restriction over Texas hints at an unexpected guest for tomorrows space launch. Security measures around Palm Beach mansion temporarily shift to Brownsville area
The high-tech space industry and politics are set to mix tomorrow when Donald Trump plans to watch SpaceXʼs next-gen rocket test (a massive achievement for Elon Muskʼs space company)
The FAAʼs temp flight rules over Brownsville and Boca Chica show preparation for a special guest; these match perfectly with the Starshipʼs launch window. Security teams will shift their focus from Trumpʼs Palm Beach home — where no-fly zones are common-place — to the Gulf-side launch facility
This visit highlights Muskʼs growing pull in Republican circles: the tech CEOʼs space venture has become a key-player in both commercial and government space projects. The Starship rocket system — designed for deep-space missions — represents SpaceXʼs most complex project to date
