SpaceX's Starship rocket is taking a second shot at a 10th test flight Monday evening, a day after a technical issue forced the company to abort liftoff from its South Texas site.
This latest test is a crucial milestone for Elon Musk's ambitious plans to use Starship to bring astronauts to the moon and, eventually, conquer Mars.
SpaceX said Sunday evening's attempt was scrapped because of ground-system problems with the team resetting its sights on a new launch window at 7:30 p.m. ET Monday.
The spaceflight is set to stream live.

Starship has faced a series of setbacks in its development phase, including multiple fiery explosions.
Flights 7, 8 and 9 ended in failure after liftoff earlier this year, and another rocket exploded on a test stand in June.
SpaceX appeared hopeful in the run-up to the test flight and shared a post on X.
"Counting down to Starship's tenth flight test. Weather is currently 55% favorable for launch at the start of the window," the post read.
Despite the failings, SpaceX has pressed on and said each setback is part of the learning curve for the world's most powerful, 403-foot rocket.

The focus of Monday's mission will be the spacecraft's upper stage, designed to carry crew and cargo into space before returning to Earth with a controlled descent into the Gulf of America.
A successful test would also mark a step forward in proving the system's reusability, which is key to Musk's vision of affordable space travel.
Fox News Digital has reached out to SpaceX for comment.
