Cameron County has confirmed that SpaceX has postponed all launch activities for at least the next two days.

According to NASASpaceflight.com, a static fire test was conducted late Tuesday night.

Video from NASA Spaceflight shows a huge fireball of flames that came from the new Raptor engine on the Starhopper vehicle. They reported a discharge of methane may have caused the ignition.

They also reported that the vehicle did survive and will undergo inspections.

At this point, it’s unclear as the why the cancellation was announced.



Road closures that were in effect for the launch activities have since been suspended.
