SpaceX's highly anticipated Starship launch faced a last-minute setback on Monday, as technical problems forced mission controllers to call off the attempt just 40 seconds before liftoff. The mega rocket, standing at an impressive 403 feet (123 meters), was poised for a dramatic comeback following an explosion during its last test flight.
Elon Musk's reaction
"Standing down from today’s flight test attempt. Starship team is determining the next best available opportunity to fly," read a post on X by SpaceX. Reacting to it, Elon Musk said, "Too many question marks about this flight and then we were 20 bar low on ground spin start pressure. Best to destack, inspect both stages and try again in a day or two."
