SpaceX has rescheduled for Thursday the first test flight of Starship, the most powerful rocket ever built and designed to send astronauts to the Moon, Mars and beyond, after a technical glitch forced a halt to the countdown.
“A planned lift-off Monday of the gigantic rocket was called off less than 10 minutes ahead of the scheduled launch because of a pressurisation issue in the first-stage booster,” SpaceX said.
