SpaceX announced a one-day delay from a targeted launch on Mar. 5 in a post on X Wednesday morning. You can watch the Flight 8 launch live here at Space.com, courtesy of SpaceX, or directly via the company. Coverage will begin about 40 minutes before liftoff. Follow our live Starship Flight 8 launch updates for the latest on the mission.

SpaceX made multiple changes in the wake of a January Starship failure, only to suffer a second straight vehicle breakup Thursday.

Those wanting to see SpaceX’s Starship rocket take flight on Monday afternoon will have to wait as test flight 8 was scrubbed shortly before launch.

Starship, the most powerful rocket ever built, was set to lift off during a one-hour window that opened at 5:30 p.m. CT. During its last test run, the spacecraft exploded over the Caribbean, raining debris over populated islands.

For a company that prides itself on pushing the boundaries in space exploration, SpaceX just hit another major roadblock—literally. The highly anticipated test flight of its Starship mega rocket ended in disaster (again) after controllers lost contact with the upper-stage vehicle just minutes into the launch.

SpaceX’s Starship Flight 8 suffered another dramatic failure - but why? Just like Flight 7, the upper stage exploded in space, scattering debris over the Bahamas. What went wrong this time, and what does it mean for future Starship flights?
