A second launch attempt is coming.

The SpaceX Starship rocket prototype, SN10, ignited its engines for a split second on Wednesday afternoon, but an issue with the launch procedure triggered an automatic abort.

Elon Musk, SpaceX CEO, said the rocket had a "slightly conservative high thrust limit" but the team would recycle propellant and try again.

SN10 and SN9 are the latest iterations of SpaceX and Elon Musk's Starship prototypes that the company has been developing in full view at its facility in Boca Chica, Texas (or Starbase, as it might be known soon).

In the end, the FAA was satisfied with the safety precautions for the test flight and SN9 finally flew on Feb2

19, an FAA spokesperson said via email that the agency has closed the investigation into the landing mishap, "clearing the way for the SN10 test flight pending FAA approval of license updates.".

22, The Washington Post's Christian Davenport was reporting that the FAA launch license has been granted, paving the way for SN10 to launch following a static test fire.
