SpaceX was aiming to launch its Starship megarocket on an hour-long test flight on Monday NZ, though that launch has been scrubbed. "Standing down from today's tenth flight of Starship to allow time to troubleshoot an issue with ground systems," Space X said in a post on X. The new launch time remains unclear. The uncrewed Starship prototype will follow a similar flight plan to the last three missions and aim to complete test objectives left untried during those tests, all of which ended prematurely. SpaceX debuted the current generation of Starship vehicles in January, following a clean run of test missions with a slightly scaled-down version of the rocket in 2024.
