No launch today. Canceled due to pressure issue, try again tomorrow maybe

When you think an "o ring" caused a disaster...caution is advised. Things have been moving so it's back to go with the pre-launch testing.
Have to go see if Musk delights us with his sense of humor over this disappointment.

We’ll the point is that a test is meant to find problems. Pressure absolutely makes or breaks a rocket so, its good to fined it.

48 hour recycle.
This isn’t a big deal. It’s better to get it right.
To: Vermont Lt
So it might be right on time for Musk’s humorous prediction of 4/20

It’s better to get it right. There's an awful lot of methane and oxygen on board. I think we'd all prefer that it all burn in the combustion chambers.

That will not be beaten until they grab the booster with the “chopsticks”.

Starship is a better name than SLS.
Why must everything be in TLA (Three Letter
Acronym)?

I said lunch not launch.🤪

IIRC, the Soviets did not bother with static engine tests B4 proceeding to N1 launch attempts. Of the 4 a couple launches made it 40-50 km, but the problems of balancing all those engines were too great & the rockets shook themselves to failure.
If Starship does an N1 launch 2 replay, would the resulting explosion not take out the fuel storage tanks (and O2 tanks?) nearby? They look fairly close...
I also noted that when SpaceEx DID test the “Super Heavy” engines (on the same pad it is on now?) I did not see the huge cascades of water used for the Artemis 1 / SLS launch last year. The whole approach to the launch pad seems quite a bit different, too.
