The $3 billion, 395ft-tall Starship is the most powerful rocket in history
SpaceX's first orbital Starship launch failed Monday due to technical issues, forcing Elon Musk to postpone the mission for 'a few days.'
The massive 395-foot-tall rocket was set to complete almost one circuit of the globe while the booster blasted it into orbit, but SpaceX pulled the plug due to issues with the pressurization system on the $3 billion Super Heavy booster.
With less than eight minutes left on the countdown clock, the SpaceX team transitioned to a wet dress rehearsal to let staff conduct pre-flight procedures.
