    Scrubbed today. Ground systems.

    SpaceX has officially scrubbed the launch of today's Starship Flight 10 launch due to a problem with ground support systems.

    "Standing down from today's tenth flight of Starship to allow time to troubleshoot an issue with ground systems," SpaceX wrote in a status update on X.

    Pretty much a total success for SpaceX. Incredible to nail re-entry, even with so many tweaks to the rocket. This was a massive leap forward for re-usability, to go through an aggressive profile with missing heat shields drives confidence they will crackt his

    @Duluth ten minutes away! A couple of delays, can't wait. Last of block 2 ... could be exciting returning as there are a lot of missing tiles to test performance.

    Looks like all objectives achieved. Re-entry followed by a landing burn and soft touchdown for Starship. Remarkable. Re-usability looks like it's here - now the question is how much refurbishment you need before re-launching.

    Relighting in flight and on landing is bloody hard. This was a huge success for SpaceX.

    huh

    I watched the launch yesterday - was at 1145 am NZT. Hence my question about whether this was an older launch they captured, or played with photo lighting.

    Not major, cool images. That bridge is always striking - a good walk aroudn the loop too
