The countdown stopped 40 seconds before the start, after which the team decided to cancel the launch.

Spacex has shifted the Starship Missile test, which should take place on March 3 at the Starbase Training Ground in Texas. The reason is that technical problems are both in the early stages of the extremely heavy and upper stage of the ship. This was reported by Portal Space.com.

The countdown stopped 40 seconds before the start, after which the team decided to cancel the launch. During the broadcast, the company did not specify what problems arose, and when the attempt was repeated.

“We canceled the trial today. The Starship team determines the next better opportunity to launch,” Spacex said.

Previously, a new attempt could be made on March 4, but the final decision has not been made.

“We look forward to at least 24 hours of delay, we will let you know about the results,” said Spacex representative Dan Huott during the groadcast.


Starship is the largest and strongest missile in the world that Spacex is developing for the development of the moon and Mars. The first trial launch took place in April 2023, and the seventh mission held on January 16 has the same success and failure. For example, the company managed to restore the extremely heavy with the tower’s “stick”, but the ship exploded in the Atlantic due to fuel leakage.

During the flight 7 mission, the rocket should be removed by Starlink satellites, but the task is not complete. Today the Spacex will try to repeat this mission on the outline of Flight 8. If everything is in line with the plan, Super Heavy will return to the starting complex, and the ship will reach the Indian ocean on the west coast of Australia.

Remember, on February 15, 2024, Spacex sent an Odysseus or IM-1 landing module to the moon. The Odysseus apparatus made a successful moon landing, turned to the side, but continued to work.
