The Spacex Aerospace Company, of the Magnate Elon Musk, again suspended the tenth test of the Starship ship, planned Monday night from the city of Starbase, in southern Texas (USA), due to bad weather.
“We abandon today’s flight test due to the climate. The Starship team is determining the next best opportunity to fly,” Spacex said in its X account shortly after the regressive account of the exit, scheduled at 7:00 p.m. local time (00.00 GMT on Tuesday).
Spacex had initially scheduled on Sunday, but postponed it for technical problems that were released today by an executive, Dan Huot, during the retransmission of the event: there was a leak in a pipe that supplied liquid oxygen to the rocket.

The company waited with the rocket to the point until the last moment in the hope that the clouds would be cleared, since they interfere with the launch, but finally there were “bad news,” Huot announced.
During the retransmission, to which they connected to a million people, Musk was interviewed by those responsible for Spacex and, dressed in a shirt that said “Nuke Mars” (to assemble or attack Mars with nuclear bombs), reiterated his goal of reaching the red planet.
This was going to be the tenth test mission of the Starship and the fourth of this type in 2025. The previous three ended the loss of the ship.
With these flights, the company tries to find the key so that both the Super Heavy propeller and the Starship ship can be reused in future missions and thus lower costs.
In the last test, which took place at the end of May, the rocket exploded one hour after taking off, so the company had made several modifications in this new model of the ship that plans to launch to the earth’s orbit.
