SpaceX Shares Fall After Company Aborts Starship Test Launch

The mammoth rocket is scheduled for blast off from the company's Starbase facility in southern Texas during a 90-minute window that opens at 5:45 pm local time (2245 GMT).

They've changed how engines light and tweaked the landing sequence, which plops the ship into the Indian Ocean.

SpaceX is set to launch its Starship rocket for its 13th test flight on Thursday, July 16, as the company continues testing the massive spacecraft designed for future missions to the Moon and Mars.

It was supposed to be the 13th flight for Starship, which at 407 feet (124 meters) tall with 33 main engines is the world’s biggest and most powerful rocket.
