USA – SpaceX has called off the first launch attempt of its giant rocket Monday after a problem cropped up during fueling.

Elon Musk’s company had planned to fly the nearly 400-foot starship rocket from the southern tip of Texas, near the Mexican border, but the test flight was called off with just over eight minutes left in the countdown because of a stuck valve.

Launch controllers couldn’t fix the frozen valve in time, but for practice, took the clocks down to the 40-second mark before halting the countdown.

No people or satellites were aboard.

The company says there won’t be another try until at least Thursday.
