SpaceX is gearing up for the 12th test flight of its Starship spacecraft, with the launch window scheduled to open at 5:30 PM Central Time (11:30 PM BST). This comes after a previous attempt was called off just 30 seconds before liftoff due to technical issues with the launch pad at Starbase, located near the Mexican border. Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, reported that a hydraulic pin responsible for securing the launch tower's arm failed to retract, prompting the delay. A SpaceX representative highlighted the challenges of launching new systems, stating, "New rocket, new pad. We're learning a lot about these systems as we execute them for the first time."
