Nicki Minaj’s Surprise Starbase Visit Steals the Spotlight at SpaceX Launch

American rapper Nicki Minaj dropped in unexpectedly at SpaceX’s Starbase facility in South Texas during the planned Starship V3 launch. She sported a SpaceX T-shirt and even popped up on the live webcast. Minaj called the experience “historic” and admitted it was her first time seeing a rocket launch in person. The timing sparked amusement online, given her hit “Starships (Were Meant to Fly).” SpaceX scrubbed the liftoff at the last minute due to a technical issue in the final countdown. Engineers are reviewing the problem and plan to try again the next day. The Starship programme aims to cut launch costs and fuel future missions to the Moon and Mars.
