SpaceX’s Starship Flight 13 launch attempt fizzled out.

The thirteenth, and first post-IPO, flight test of SpaceX’s massive Starship vehicle was supposed to occur Thursday night, but when the countdown hit zero just before 7PM ET, “Some of the engines didn’t start, triggering an automatic launch abort,” writes Elon Musk.

He says another attempt will happen “hopefully” in a few days, which could be important to investors who are hearing that just hours after SPCX closed below its $135 IPO price for the first time.
