TL;DR Summary

SpaceX is targeting Thursday for the next attempt to launch Starship, the most powerful rocket ever built, after a technical issue delayed the vehicle's historic first launch attempt on Monday. The launch window opens at 8:28 a.m. CT and closes at 9:30 a.m. CT. The Super Heavy booster is expected to expend its fuel about two and a half minutes after liftoff and separate from the Starship spacecraft, leaving the booster to be discarded in the ocean. The Starship will use its own engines to propel itself to nearly orbital speeds and complete nearly one full lap of the planet before splashing down off the coast about an hour and a half after liftoff.
