THE much-hyped launch of SpaceX’s Starhopper was aborted after the engine caught fire and sent flames shooting from the top of the rocket.
But the test was called off when the Raptor engine burned for several second before shutting down and engulfing the spaceship in flames. During SpaceX's live stream of the launch, an official commentator said: "It appears as though we have had an abort on today's test as you can see there the vehicle did not lift off today.
SpaceX boss Elon Musk confirmed that fire had been caused by a "post test fuel leak" but added there had been "no major damage".
