Musk’s SpaceX Starship launch suddenly aborted in what would have been it’s 13th flight

SpaceX's Starship rocket nearly launched on its 13th test flight but aborted at the last second due to engine ignition issues, causing a cloud of smoke and vapor. Elon Musk confirmed that two engines will be replaced to ensure a successful flight before the next attempt.

The stakes are high as Starship aims to carry humans and cargo to Mars and beyond.
