SpaceX Boca Chica: Starship SN9 Aborts Static Fire Attempt - Tankzilla Leaves the Launch Site

Starship SN9 aborts static fire testing today ahead of its launch in the coming days. Static firing the three Raptor engines is the final milestone before SpaceX can fly SN9. Prior to testing SpaceX moved Tankzilla, their largest crane onsite, to a secure location outside of the launch site. This is to ensure it's protected in the event of an SN9 mishap.
