SpaceX again delayed a critical test of its massive Starship rocket a few minutes before liftoff on Monday, citing unfavorable weather conditions.
Starship was slated to take off on its 10th major mission from SpaceX’s South Texas launch facility, called Starbase. The mission had heightened stakes following a series of explosive setbacks this year for Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk’s reusable rocket.
