Summary created with AI assistance · Source: reuters.com
- The recent Starship launch was aborted just before liftoff after four of the 33 booster engines failed to ignite.
- SpaceX intends to replace two Raptor engines on the booster to ensure a successful upcoming flight.
- The 13th test flight will carry 20 Starlink satellites that will burn up on a suborbital trajectory.
- Despite the setback and a 6% stock decline, Starship remains a critical element of SpaceX’s multi-decade infrastructure plans.
Some of the engines didn't start.— Elon Musk wrote on X that the abort was triggered because 'some of the engines didn't start.'
