SpaceX will try to launch its massive mega-rocket Starship again on Thursday after it was delayed earlier this week due to a frozen valve.
The launch window will begin at 9:28 a.m. ET in south Texas and last for 62 minutes. If successful, the stainless-steel spaceship will fly around the earth for roughly five hours before splashing down near Hawaii.
"All systems currently green for launch," SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said in a tweet early Thursday, confirming that the spaceship was on track to launch right when the window opens.

..."Starship just experienced what we call a rapid, unscheduled disassembly," said John Insprucker, SpaceX's principal integration engineer. "As we said, excitement was guaranteed."
SpaceX staff still cheered as Starship went down in flames. Successfully lifting the 400-foot-tall rocket off the launch pad is still a big step forward to its ultimate goal of one day ferrying humans to the moon and Mars, SpaceX says."...

SpaceX's massive rocket Starship explodes 4 minutes after liftoff
The monster-sized, stainless steel, uncrewed spacecraft cleared the launch tower but failed to separate from its booster, spinning in the air before succumbing to a blast of flames.
