SpaceX's Starship rocket test launch was automatically aborted seconds before liftoff due to a failure in igniting four of its 33 Raptor engines. This triggered the rocket's safety system to shut down all engines and keep the vehicle on the launch pad, leading to a 4% drop in SpaceX shares, which opened below the IPO price of $135. CEO Elon Musk announced plans to replace two engines and attempt another launch early next week. The mission was to carry 20 upgraded Starlink satellites to test orbital communications, following FAA clearance after a previous test incident in May.
