SpaceX scrubs first Starship V3 launch just before liftoff

SpaceX scrubbed the first Starship V3 launch from Starbase, Texas, after countdown and fueling were already underway.

The delay was tied to a problem with the launch tower arm hydraulic pin, and SpaceX planned another attempt the next day.

The flight is a major test of SpaceX’s next-generation, fully reusable rocket system and its Raptor engines.

It also comes as the company faces added pressure from its planned IPO and continued Starlink growth.
