Once again, as Starship was on the launch pad being prepared for takeoff, SpaceX opted for another 24-hour delay – this time due to poor weather.

SpaceX has been known for its risk-tolerant philosophy when it comes to Starship's development. Musk has stressed that rapid and frequent testing, which sometimes leads to explosive ends, can still provide data that helps engineers improve the vehicle's design.

SpaceX hopes to pick up the pace with Super Heavy-Starship test flights amid concern the rocket may not be ready in time for a planned 2027 moon landing.
