The countdown to the launch, which was scheduled to take place on Thursday, May 21, within a 90-minute window from the Starbase spaceport in Texas, stopped several times.

As a result, it was decided to postpone it for 24 hours, SpaceX announced.
This flight will be the 12th for Starship and will generally be similar to previous ones — a suborbital flight that will end with a controlled splashdown in the ocean of the Super Heavy booster and the Ship upper stage.
However, the spacecraft being used is quite heavily modified, and SpaceX has high hopes for it.
