With President-elect Trump and Elon Musk looking on, the sixth Starship test flight took off Tuesday from SpaceX's launch site in southern Texas. The Super Heavy booster splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico minutes after the 5pm Eastern launch, the BBC reports. SpaceX had initially planned to catch the booster with the launch tower's giant mechanical "chopsticks," as it did during a test flight last month. "We did mention that we're constantly evaluating the criteria for catch. There's a lot of things that need to go well in order to line that up," a SpaceX commentator said, per Reuters. "Unfortunately, today we will forgo booster catch."
