SpaceX Aborts Starship Launch Seconds Before Liftoff

SpaceX abruptly scrubbed the 12th test flight of its colossal Starship rocket just 30 seconds before liftoff from its Texas Starbase. CEO Elon Musk explained that a hydraulic pin on the launch tower failed to retract, forcing an immediate halt to the countdown. This highly anticipated mission marks the debut of the third-generation Starship V3, currently the world’s most powerful launch vehicle. Once airborne, the rocket is slated to carry dummy Starlink satellites on a one-hour journey before executing a controlled splashdown in the Indian Ocean. Engineers are working rapidly to resolve the mechanical glitch, aiming for another launch attempt as early as today
