Starship Flight 13 Delayed as SpaceX Reassesses Launch Date

SpaceX’s Starship Flight 13 was scrubbed at T-0 from Starbase, Texas, and a new launch date is under review after an automated hold aborted liftoff. Elon Musk said two Raptors would be removed and replaced following issues with engine ignition, with a plan for an early next-week liftoff within a 90-minute window. Booster 20 and Ship 40 remain stacked as SpaceX presses ahead with Starship Version 3 upgrades, and live coverage is available via Space.com and SpaceX channels. The 13th Starship test flight could enable near-future orbital flights.
