SpaceX has pushed the eighth test flight of its Starship megarocket back a few days.
Elon Musk‘s company had been targeting Friday (Feb. 28) for Flight 8 of Starship, the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built. But that’s no longer the plan.
“Now targeting to launch Starship’s eighth flight test as soon as Monday, March 3,” SpaceX said in an X post early on Thursday morning (Feb. 27). No reason was given for the delay.
If all goes to plan, Starship will lift off from Starbase, SpaceX’s facility in South Texas, on Monday during a window that opens at 6:30 p.m. EST (2330 GMT; 5:30 p.m. local Texas time). You’ll be able to watch the action live here at Space.com, courtesy of SpaceX.
