During Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the U.S., billionaire Elon Musk reportedly presented him with a unique gift—a piece of SpaceX’s Starship, the world’s largest and most powerful rocket. Speculations had been swirling about the nature of the gift after their meeting at Blair House. Reports suggest it was a heat shield tile from Starship’s fifth flight test, which took place in October last year.
This symbolic gesture highlights the growing collaboration between India and SpaceX in space exploration and technology. Starship, a fully reusable spacecraft designed for deep-space missions, represents a major leap in space travel. The gift underscores Musk’s enthusiasm for India’s space ambitions and potential partnerships in future missions.
