April 17 (UPI) -- SpaceX scrubbed its critical test flight of the hulking Super Heavy booster and Starship rocket from Texas because of a pressurization issue in the first stage of the rocket that cropped up in the final minutes before launch on Monday morning.
Excitement had been building for the rocket, which is one of the largest vehicles ever sent into space and a step toward sending a manned mission to Mars. Instead, SpaceX officials turned the event into a "wet dress rehearsal."
