SpaceX forced to abort Starship’jump’ - World Top Trend

SpaceX was preparing to launch its Starship prototype onto a brief”hop” test, but engine problem halted it at the last possible second.

A problem with the engine triggered an automatic abort, according to SpaceX boss Elon Musk.

SpaceX is planning to try out the test launch again shortly.

The bad news is that the Starship prototype didn’t figure out how to remove as planned

– the prototype will soar for a very short distance and try to land upright again — but it’s a significant milestone for the Starship program nonetheless
