SpaceX’s 403-foot Starship was set to lift off Sunday evening from the company’s Starbase facility in South Texas, marking its most ambitious test yet after a string of setbacks.

But the launch of SpaceX’s tenth test flight was scrapped after there was an issue with the ground systems.

“Standing down from today’s tenth flight of Starship to allow time to troubleshoot an issue with ground systems,” the company said on X, offering no other information.

This came after multiple failures in recent years — including three disastrous explosions in 2025 alone.

This would have been a milestone for SpaceX, which has said it is essential for its Artemis moon lander contract with NASA and Musk’s ultimate goal of colonizing Mars.

Fox News Digital has reached out to SpaceX for comment.
