SpaceX Scrubs Starship Test Flight Due to Technical Issues

Elon Musk cites concerns over ground pressure and announces plans to inspect the rocket before rescheduling the launch attempt.

SpaceX aborted the eighth test flight of its Starship rocket seconds before liftoff due to technical concerns, including insufficient ground spin start pressure.
The launch was intended to test upgrades made after the previous Starship test in January, which ended in a mid-air explosion over the Caribbean.
Elon Musk explained that the rocket will be destacked and inspected to address the issues, with another attempt expected in the coming days, though no official date has been announced.
Starship's mission includes testing payload deployment, re-entry procedures, and booster recovery using launch tower 'chopstick' arms, aiming for full reusability.
The rocket, critical to Musk’s Mars ambitions and NASA's Artemis program, has incorporated several hardware changes to improve reliability following past failures.
