The engines ignited, but abruptly shut down, leaving Relativity Space’s rocket, named Terran, standing on its pad.
Launch controllers reset the countdown clocks and aimed for the last possible moment of the three-hour window at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. But once again, on-board flight computers halted the countdown, this time with 45 seconds remaining.
