The launch is scheduled for Tuesday, November 19.

So, Trump cozying up to yet another billionaire—no surprise there, but let's hope SpaceX's success doesn't come at the expense of proper regulations and public interest.
Good to see Trump staying close to innovators like Musk—government needs to get out of the way and let the private sector lead the future of space exploration.
