Elon Musk’s SpaceX postponed the eighth test flight of its mammoth Starship rocket on Monday seconds before liftoff in order to troubleshoot issues with the spacecraft.
Starship was slated to launch from SpaceX’s Starbase facility in south Texas on a roughly one-hour mission. The company aimed to repeat the midair catch of the Super Heavy booster it achieved during prior flights and test Starship’s ability to deploy satellites into space.
