The SpaceX Starship SN3 prototype fails its cryogenic pressure test.
Elon Musk speculates there could have been a test configuration mistake. This might mean different sections or tanks would need pressurization at different times.
We will see what data review says in the morning, but this may have been a test configuration mistake
