SpaceX Shares Drop Over 3% After Starship Test Flight Aborted

SpaceX scrubbed its Starship test flight on Thursday, with CEO Elon Musk indicating another attempt could occur within days. A 90-minute launch window opened at 6:45 p.m. ET, but the launch was aborted shortly after due to engine issues. Following the announcement, shares of SpaceX fell more than 3% in extended trading, dipping below the IPO price of $135. The failure to launch impacts SpaceX's plans for its Starlink satellite internet service and upcoming NASA missions, making this a significant event for investors tracking these developments.
