We’ll have to wait just a little longer to see the world’s most powerful rocket soar to the skies.

SpaceX scrubbed its first Starship orbital launch attempt just at the last moment. Instead, the private space firm conducted a wet dress rehearsal.

As it had already filled Starship with fuel, it would go ahead with a wet dress rehearsal that would allow it to glean valuable data ahead of the next launch attempt.

SpaceX announced roughly 10 minutes before the scheduled launch time of 08:20 am CT that it had experienced an issue, meaning it would have to stand down for the day.
