Elon Musk slammed the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration for “a fundamentally broken regulatory structure” amid uncertainty about when his Space Exploration Technologies Corp. would be able to conduct a second test flight of its massive Starship spacecraft.
The launch planned for Thursday was scrubbed and would be rescheduled for Friday, the FAA said on its air-traffic website. The regulator didn’t say if it ordered the cancellation or why the flight was scrapped.
