SpaceX tries to launch a bigger version of Starship but hits a series of last-minute problems
· KRGV (NBC 5)
SpaceX's latest attempt to launch its largest Starship rocket was halted just 30 seconds before liftoff due to technical issues at the Starbase launch pad near the Texas-Mexico border. The 407-foot rocket was set to embark on a test flight that would take it halfway around the globe. CEO Elon Musk identified a hydraulic pin issue with the launch tower's arm as the cause of the delay. If resolved quickly, SpaceX plans to try again on Friday. This mission is crucial for future NASA moon landings, as the Starship will carry 20 mock Starlink satellites before re-entering the Indian Ocean.
