SpaceX has been known for its risk-tolerant philosophy when it comes to Starship's development. Musk has stressed that rapid and frequent testing, which sometimes leads to explosive ends, can still provide data that helps engineers improve the vehicle's design.

SpaceX called off Sunday’s launch attempt of the Starship rocket about 15 minutes from launch.

Elon Musk’s company will reschedule the next trip of its Starship prototype, which faced setbacks in its last three flight attempts.
