US President-elect Donald Trump drew cheers as he arrived in Texas on Nov. 19 to watch the launch of the sixth test flight of SpaceX’s Starship rocket along with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.

Video shows Trump observing the launch beside his son Donald Trump Jr. and Sen. Ted Cruz, among others.

On its website, SpaceX said: “The next Starship flight test aims to expand the envelope on ship and booster capabilities and get closer to bringing reuse of the entire system online. Objectives include the booster once again returning to the launch site for catch, reigniting a ship Raptor engine while in space, and testing a suite of heatshield experiments and maneuvering changes for ship reentry and descent over the Indian Ocean.”

Musk and Trump have been seen frequently together since the election, including at a UFC match in New York City on Saturday night.
