SpaceX moves Starship launch attempt to Thursday

On July ⁠16, SpaceX's Starship rocket triggered a last-second abort before ​liftoff for its 13th flight test from Texas, which ​erased about $100 billion from the company's market value.

SpaceX is targeting Thursday, July 23, for another attempt to ​launch its Starship rocket, the company said in ‌a statement on Sunday.

On its 13th flight ​test, Starship will ​carry 20 ⁠Starlink satellites to demonstrate its satellite-dispensing system and the Starlink network's laser communication links, ​but those satellites will follow the ship's ​suborbital ⁠trajectory and burn up in Earth's atmosphere soon after deployment.
