The 12th Starship rocket launch by SpaceX, due to take place on Thursday from Texas, has been delayed, with the company planning another attempt at the test flight on Friday.
This comes only a day after SpaceX revealed that it was working towards its stock market debut. This is widely expected to be the largest initial public offering (IPO) in history, with the company aiming for a valuation of $1.75 trillion (€1.51tn).
This has made the Starship V3’s launch even more critical, as it could significantly impact share sales once SpaceX goes public.
