Elon Musk’s Mega Rocket Delayed… Again

WooGlobe

SpaceX has once again delayed the launch of its massive Starship rocket, just 30 minutes before liftoff at its Texas launch site. The mission would’ve marked the 10th test flight of the rocket Elon Musk hopes will one day take humans to Mars. But with multiple mid-air explosions and launchpad failures in recent months, questions are rising about how soon — if ever — Starship will truly take off. Here’s what went wrong this time and why it matters. WooGlobe Ref : WGA450409 For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com

00:17Earlier tests in January, March, and May?

00:19Mid-air explosions.

00:28carrying people to Mars and the Moon.

00:31But so far, it hasn't made it to space or safely come back.

00:35This test flight was meant to push the limits,

00:37with booster separation, satellite deployment, and a splashdown.

00:41Super Heavy was set to land in the Gulf of Mexico.

00:44Starship would have reignited its engine in suborbit.

00:47A crucial test of systems needed for missions beyond Earth.
