Technical Issues Force SpaceX and Ariane 6 to Cancel Rocket Launches

Both SpaceX's Starship and Europe's Ariane 6 postponed their launches due to last-minute technical problems, with no new dates announced yet.

SpaceX's Starship, the largest rocket system ever built, aborted its eighth test flight less than a minute before liftoff due to unresolved technical issues.
Elon Musk hinted at potential problems with the rocket's turbopump system, suggesting further inspections and a possible retry in the coming days.
The Ariane 6 rocket, set to carry a critical French military satellite, also faced delays after ground system anomalies were detected 30 minutes before its planned launch.
Both rockets are pivotal to their respective programs, with Starship aiming for Mars missions and Ariane 6 ensuring Europe's independent access to space.
Starship's previous test in January saw the upper stage explode mid-flight, prompting design changes and a temporary flight ban by U.S. regulators, which was lifted last week.
