SpaceX is aiming to launch the eighth flight test of Starship on Thursday from Texas after experiencing a delay.
The space company was set to launch on Monday but was scrubbed due to a last-minute problem .
The countdown got down to the 40-second mark, but it was halted because of issues with the 403-foot (123-meter) rocket, the world’s largest and most powerful.
The launch window will open at 6:30 p.m. News4JAX will stream live.
