SpaceX's Starship rocket experienced a last-second launch abort due to engine failures. Just seconds before liftoff, some of the 33 engines failed to ignite, triggering the abort sequence. Elon Musk announced that two engines will be replaced before the next launch attempt. This was the first time a full-scale Starship faced such a late abort. The rocket's automatic system successfully halted the launch to prevent potential disaster from too few operating engines. Twenty new Starlink satellites were aboard for potential deployment during the mission. These satellites were intended to test communication with existing constellations and photograph the heat shield. Neither the booster nor the Starship itself were scheduled for recovery; both were planned to splash down in the ocean. NASA relies on Starship for its Artemis program, aiming to land astronauts on the moon. The next launch attempt is anticipated for early next week.
