Former president to watch space history unfold at next Starship launch

In a notable cross-over of space tech and politics Donald Trump plans to watch SpaceXs next-gen rocket test (which shows growing ties between the former president and tech-mogul Elon Musk)

The Federal Aviation Administration set-up no-fly zones near Brownsville and Boca Chica Texas; these match the timing of SpaceXs planned Starship test launch. Security protocols indicate a high-profile visit to the launch site — located right by the Gulf of Mexico

The arrangements include a brief pause in the usual flight limitations around Trumps Palm Beach FL residence. These special measures suggest careful planning for the former presidents travel to the test site where SpaceX will attempt another milestone in its super-heavy rocket program
