SpaceX’s mega rocket, Starship, was scheduled to make a comeback with a test flight, but last-minute issues forced a delay. The countdown reached the 40-second mark before being halted due to problems with the 403-foot-long rocket. The issue is with the world’s largest and most powerful rocket.
Starship was set to blast off from Texas with four mock satellites on board for a space-skimming test flight. However, if the issues can be resolved quickly, another launch attempt may take place on Tuesday, according to SpaceX. This comes after an explosion over the Atlantic in January during the last Starship demo.
The rocket is scheduled for astronaut moon landings later this decade, with Elon Musk planning to use it to settle Mars. Despite the delay, SpaceX remains committed to its ambitious mission.
