“We need to replace a drive train, so launch is postponed to Saturday,” Musk wrote on social media platform X on Thursday.

The launch is expected to take place within 20 minutes and open at 13:00 GMT at the company's Starbase site in the Gulf of Mexico near Boca Chica, Texas.
This is the second attempt to launch the rocket carrying the 400-foot-tall Starship into space. During the first test launch in April, the rocket exploded about four minutes after takeoff from Texas.
The scheduled flight is one of several key tests in SpaceX's development campaign to build a fully reusable rocket.
According to SpaceX, this spacecraft is capable of carrying about 150 tons of satellite equipment into space, as well as taking humans to the Moon and eventually Mars in the near future.
