T-Zero at Starbase: Rocket Telemetry Meets Wall Street

🚀 T-Zero at Starbase: Rocket Telemetry Meets Wall Street Just seconds before liftoff, SpaceX's Starship Flight 13 triggered an automatic abort at Starbase. Four Raptor 3 engines didn't hit ignition parameters in the tight window — safety systems worked perfectly. SpaceX is swapping two engines, with the next attempt eyed for early next week. Meanwhile, the public markets aren't as patient as liquid oxygen. $SPCX broke below the $135 IPO floor, now trading $125–$127 (down ~44% from its $225+ peak). Market cap sits around $1.72T after shedding $450–500B. Short interest has surged to 181 million shares (~28% of float) per S3 Partners, as the street debates how much Starlink profits are being eaten by AI development costs. A classic clash: aerospace development timelines vs. public market expectations. Safety first on the pad. Volatility guaranteed on the tape. #SpaceX #Starship #SPCX #Starlink
