Bryson DeChambeau Shares Space Dreams at SpaceX Starship Launch

Professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau, known for his scientific approach to golf, recently attended the sixth test flight of SpaceX’s Starship rocket. Accompanying President-elect Donald Trump and Elon Musk at the event, DeChambeau shared his aspirations to journey into space during a cameo in Kai Trump’s YouTube vlog.

Standing alongside Kai, the granddaughter of the soon-to-be 47th President, DeChambeau expressed his awe at the launch.

“I want to do that so badly,” he said, gesturing to the rocket. He added that if he ever made it to space, he would “literally cry for a good couple of hours” while gazing back at Earth.

An Inventive Mind Reaches for Space

DeChambeau, nicknamed “The Mad Scientist” for his physics-inspired golfing techniques, didn’t stop at sharing his emotional reaction. In the vlog, he discussed creating a rocket-powered golf club to enhance clubhead speed, jokingly telling Kai it would be “just for you.”

The exchange showcased his blend of humour and engineering curiosity, traits that have become synonymous with his career. Known for innovations such as 3D-printed irons and soaking golf balls in Epsom salt for improved spin, DeChambeau’s space-related invention adds another layer to his reputation as a trailblazer in sports science.

Inspired by SpaceX

DeChambeau later posted his reaction to the launch on social media, capturing the moment the rocket lifted off.

“I’ve never been so inspired #spacex,” he wrote, accompanying a video of his awe-struck chanting and clapping as the spacecraft soared into the sky.

The golfer’s fascination with physics and engineering aligns seamlessly with his enthusiasm for space exploration, making the SpaceX launch a natural source of inspiration.

DeChambeau’s relationship with Trump

DeChambeau’s relationship with Trump extends beyond the golf course. The golfer frequently plays rounds with the President-elect and was present at Trump’s Election Day party, even joining him on stage during his victory speech.
