SpaceX Aborts Starship's 13th Test Flight Seconds Before Liftoff in Texas

SpaceX was forced to abort the 13th test flight of its Starship rocket just moments before the planned liftoff at its Texas launch site. The scrub was triggered automatically after the Raptor engines briefly ignited but shut down before the vehicle could lift off. The exact cause of the engine failure has not yet been identified. Engineers are now investigating the issue to determine when a new launch attempt can be scheduled. The abort marks a further delay for the ambitious reusable heavy-lift launch system.
