SpaceX has been haunted by a series of unfortunate static fire tests, beginning with the SN9 last month. During a static fire test, the rocket ignites its engines at full throttle but


remains firmly attached to the ground. The SN9's launch was delayed after a round of engine burns in a single day left the rocket in need of an engine swap. At the time, SpaceX boss


Elon Musk confirmed the news on Twitter, saying: "Two of the engines need slight repairs, so will be switched out." Another engine-related delay struck a month later after a static


fire test of the SN10 prototype. Once again, Mr Musk took to Twitter to tell his fans one of the Raptor engines was "suspect".
