SpaceX aborted Starship Flight 13 on July 16

SpaceX had to call off the launch of Starship Flight 13 on July 16 after several engines failed to start during the final seconds. The mission was grounded because the rocket systems did not confirm all engines were ready for liftoff.

This delay happens during the final countdown, which is when the automated computer systems check every part of the vehicle to ensure it is safe to fly. If one piece does not report back correctly, the system shuts everything down to prevent damage.

Elon Musk says the team is already working on the next attempt in the coming days, while engineers are likely checking their coffee machines and sensors to make sure the next try goes smoother.
