SpaceX scrubs first test launch of behemoth Starship

Al Jazeera  

SpaceX says the vessel, which would be the most powerful space rocket ever launched, will be key to one day reaching Mars. SpaceX has scrubbed a highly anticipated test flight of its behemoth Starship, hours after the company’s billionaire founder Elon Musk sought to lower expectations surrounding the launch. Both are designed to be reusable components with the ability to make a “soft” landing back on Earth, although neither part is expected to be recovered in the first test launch. As designed, the Starship rocket is nearly two times more powerful than NASA’s own Space Launch System, which made its debut uncrewed flight to orbit in November. Prototypes of the Starship cruise vessel have made five subspace flights up to 10 km above Earth in recent years, but the Super Heavy booster has never left the ground.
