SpaceX has scrubbed the launch of its 12th Starship rocket from Texas and will attempt the high-stakes test flight again on Saturday AEST.
Starship V3, uncrewed and featuring dozens of upgrades tailored for rapid Starlink satellite launches and NASA moon missions, was to be a key test for the vehicle following months of testing delays.
The delay is also poised to affect investor confidence ahead of what might be the biggest initial public offering in history, where SpaceX is targeting a valuation of $US1.75 trillion.
