The tenth test flight of SpaceX’s Starship, the vehicle built by Elon Musk’s company for future missions to the Moon and Mars, has been postponed again, this time due to inclement weather. This follows an initial 24-hour delay caused by a technical issue with the ground systems. The countdown was halted today with just 40 seconds remaining before launch due to the formation of clouds too close to Starbase, the SpaceX launch site near Boca Chica, Texas.
Originally scheduled for 1:30 AM Italian time on August 26th, the launch time had already been rescheduled first to 1:44 AM and then to 11:59 AM Italian time.
