SpaceX Starship flight cleared, scheduled

Boca Chica, Texas (NBC, KYMA/KECY) – The SpaceX Starship rocket launch from Texas was cleared Monday due to technical issues.

Earlier, a heavy rocket with 33 engines was scheduled for its first test flight from Starbase on the south coast of Texas.

The flight was aborted due to a frozen pressure valve. However, the first SpaceX could postpone the flight after 48 hours.

The SpaceX team completed what is known as a “wetsuit exercise” and stopped the timer with 10 seconds remaining.
