SpaceX's 403-foot Starship rocket was set to launch on Sunday for its tenth test flight, but tech issues got in the way.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has called off a planned test flight of its Starship megarocket following an issue at the launch site. About 30 minutes before the planned liftoff at its Texas launch facility on Sunday, SpaceX said that it was abandoning its 10th test flight to “allow time to troubleshoot an issue with ground systems”.

Elon Musk's SpaceX will try to launch its giant Starship rocket for a tenth time from Texas on Monday to overcome a streak of development setbacks and achieve several long-sought milestones essential to the Mars rocket system's reusable design.
