After a spectacular end to its first test flight where it lost control and then exploded, the second launch of SpaceX's 36-storey Starship rocket has been rescheduled to Saturday.
The 20-minute launch window opens at 8 am ET. If they fail to launch Saturday, there is another opportunity Sunday morning.
Founder Elon Musk tweeted Thursday afternoon that a component on the spacecraft needed to be replaced. The rocket had been scheduled to lift off early Friday morning.
Last April, the massive spaceship successfully launched from Boca Chica, Texas, but after veering out of control, was blown up over the Gulf of Mexico.
