👈 Starship launch canceled; a technical issue with the engines halted the SpaceX launch

SpaceX abruptly halted the second test launch of the upgraded Starship V3 rocket because four Raptor engines failed to ignite during the combustion process. Elon Musk said that the automatic launch-abort system worked in time, and the technical team must replace two engines. The next launch of this giant rocket will not take place earlier than next week.

The incident occurred at a time when SpaceX is under heavy pressure in the stock market after the biggest IPO in history. Following this canceled launch, the company’s share value fell by more than 4% and dropped below the IPO price (135 dollars). The mission was intended to send next-generation Starlink satellites into space to enable the launch of projects for orbital data centers.
