Summary
SpaceX’s Starship Flight 13 got another delay as Tropical Storm Bertha dumped rain and rough seas, scrubbing the launch—critical for capturing heat shield footage. Originally slated for July 16th, the mission hit an automatic abort when some Super Heavy booster engines failed to ignite. Now, SpaceX is targeting Friday, July 24th, at 5:45 PM CT, with much better weather in the forecast. This pivotal test, part of their long-term Mars ambitions and NASA’s Artemis lunar program, aims to land the upper stage in the Indian Ocean after a halfway orbit, all while pushing the envelope on fully reusable rocket tech since April 2023.
