## Resource

SpaceX’s latest Starship test flight was scrubbed just moments before liftoff as some Raptor engines failed to ignite, triggering an automatic abort. Elon Musk confirmed the delay, with teams now offloading fuel and aiming for a retry within days. While frustrating, this setback doesn’t derail the bigger picture: NASA’s Artemis missions depend on Starship to return humans to the moon, with Artemis III targeting a lunar landing by 2026 and Artemis IV aiming for the moon’s south pole by 2028. Engineers are already analyzing the engine issues, keeping the lunar dream firmly on track. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
