SpaceX Targets Starship Flight on July 23 After Last-Second Engine Abort; Stock Hits 3-Month Low

SPCX-3.25%
According to Bitcoin.com News, on July 16, SpaceX aborted Starship's 13th test flight at Boca Chica, Texas when four of 33 main booster engines failed to ignite approximately one second before liftoff. The company confirmed July 23 as the rescheduled launch window after engineers plan to replace two engines. The mission carries 20 Starlink satellites in a roughly one-hour suborbital hop to test heat shield communications. The abort triggered broader market concern as SPCX shares closed at $123, falling below the $135 initial public offering price set in June. NASA has heightened the stakes, requiring Starship to demonstrate orbital refueling and uncrewed lunar landing capabilities before astronauts board for Artemis IV, currently scheduled for no earlier than 2028.
