SpaceX Starship test delayed

The delay comes as SpaceX prepares for a potential IPO that could reshape the landscape of the private space industry.

Musk has also reportedly insisted that banks working on the IPO must purchase subscriptions to his Grok chatbot.

The Starship program remains a critical component of NASA's future plans for lunar and Martian exploration.

Despite the setback, SpaceX continues to dominate the secondary market for private shares as investor interest remains high.
