SpaceXs 403-foot Starship was set to lift off Sunday evening from the companys Starbase facility in South Texas, marking its most ambitious test yet after a string of setbacks.But the launch of SpaceXs tenth test flight was scrapped after there was an issue with the ground systems."Standing down from today's tenth flight of Starship to allow time to troubleshoot an issue with ground systems," the company said on X, offering no other information.This came after multiple failures in recent years including three disastrous explosions in 2025 alone.FORMER ASTRONAUT CELEBRATES SPACEXS IMPRESSIVE TECHNOLOGICAL TOUR DE FORCEBetween January and June, SpaceX suffered four Starship setbacks a dramatic explosion in its first test flight, a midair blast in the second, a fiery destruction in the third, and finally a ground-test explosion following those in-flight failures.On Sunday, engineers were about to attempt a series of high-risk maneuvers designed to prove Starships reusability, a critical step in owner Elon Musks long-term plan to reach the Moon and eventually conquer Mars.The goals for Sunday evening's test included deploying Starlink satellite simulators, attempting a landing burn with a backup engine, and guiding the Super Heavy booster into a controlled splashdown in the Gulf of America.SpaceX also hoped to make its first attempt at returning the Starship upper stage to the launch site.In the past, Musk has admitted that repeated setbacks are part of SpaceXs rapid test-and-fail approach.The Tesla founderfirst teased Sunday's test flight on Thursday, posting a photo of the gleaming spacecraft on X with the message: "Getting ready to launch Starship."SPACEX'S STARSHIP FLIGHT 9 ENDS IN FAILURE AFTER BOOSTER LOSS: 'SUCCESS COMES FROM WHAT WE LEARNStarship is the most powerful rocket ever built and is taller than the Saturn V that carried astronauts to the Moon in the sixties.The vessel consists of two stages: the 232-foot Super Heavy booster and the 171-foot Starship upper stage, where future crew and cargo will ride once the tests are successful.If it had been successful, the new test mission would have marked a breakthrough in Musks attempt to build a fully reusable rocket system capable of carrying humans deeper into space.SPACEX LAUNCH SCRUBBED HOURS AFTER HEGSETH SHARES MESSAGE TO RESCUE MISSION CREWThis would have been a milestone for SpaceX, which has said it is essential for its Artemis moon lander contract with NASA and Musks ultimate goal of colonizing Mars.Fox News Digital has reached out to SpaceX for comment.

The Princess of Wales new blonde locks could reflect her wish to draw attention to them after hair loss a change that may show she's left her cancer treatment behind, according to an expert.Kate Middleton unveiled her lightest hair color to date when she attended a Sunday church service at Crathie Kirk in Balmoral, Scotland.Kate, 43, was photographed riding in the passenger seat of a Range Rover, while her husband Prince William, also 43, drove with their children Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, in the back.Her family was joined by other senior royals in Scotland, including King Charles III and Queen Camilla, Princess Anne and Sir Timothy Laurence, and Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie, for the annual service held near Balmoral Castle.KATE MIDDLETON RETURNS TO ROYAL DUTIES DAYS AFTER REVEALING SHE IS CANCER-FREEBritish psychologist Carolyn Mair, PhD, told Fox News Digital that Kate may want to feel "brighter and more energetic" and said hair is a part of our identity."Hair is our crowning glory and a symbol of health and femininity," Mair said."Kate might want to make a fresh start by embracing a lighter outlook on life," the psychologist added.PRINCE WILLIAM AND KATE MIDDLETON QUIETLY BUILDING TRUSTED TEAM FOR INEVITABLE TRANSITION: EXPERTIn March 2024, the princess revealed in a video statement that she had been diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy.By September, Kate announced she was cancer-free, describing the nine-month ordeal as "incredibly tough" for her family but one that left her with "a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life.""I dont know if Princess Kate lost her hair during her treatment, but if she did, she might want to color it blonde as a means of drawing attention to it," added Mair."She may be reclaiming agency and visibility, and leaving her illness behind."KATE MIDDLETON UNEXPECTEDLY PULLS OUT OF ROYAL ASCOT APPEARANCEKates style choices have often set trends in the U.K. and across the world, but few details are tracked as closely these days as the changing color of her hair.The future queens new sun-kissed blonde tresses showed a dramatic evolution from the brunette hair that captured the publics attention when she began her royal life and married Prince William nearly two decades ago.In 2024, Kate appeared in warmer honey-blonde tones and by April of this year timed with her and Williams 14th wedding anniversary she debuted a lighter blonde shade during a royal trip to the Isle of Mull.At Wimbledon in July, her golden highlights seemed brighter still.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe Balmoral appearance also comes as the Wales family prepares for another milestone: a move from Adelaide Cottage to Forest Lodge, an eight-bedroom estate in Windsor Great Park.Fox News Digital has reached out to Kensington Palace for comment.

Caitlin Clark has been unable to get back on the court with the Indiana Fever, but she presumably took an important step to making that happen.Clark, who has been out since July 15 with a nagging groin injury, was spotted doing some light work at shootaround on Sunday before her Fever teammates took on the Minnesota Lynx.Now, head coach Stephanie White says Clark hasnt officially returned to Fever practice, but taking part in shootaround drills is a step in the right direction.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"It was a good step because she got out there on the floor with us for the first time, part of the sort of return to activity thing," White told the Indy Star.White added that Clarks role was "very low, low-maintenance" and "low intensity," as they certainly dont want to reaggravate her injury.CAITLIN CLARK'S RETURN TO FEVER LINEUP REMAINS MYSTERY"I think just getting her back out there, getting her comfortable, and see where she goes."The drill that Clark participated in, after going through whats considered dynamic warmups, was non-contact and low impact.With seven games remaining in the Fevers regular season, theyre hoping to remain in playoff position. They are currently 19-17, which is good for the No. 6 seed. Only the top eight seeds make the playoffs.And while it goes without saying what Clark can provide once she returns to the court, its almost imperative if Indiana wishes to make a run, as several other key pieces are out for the year with injury.The latest blow was Sophie Cunningham, the new Fever star who tore her MCL this past Sunday during a game against the Connecticut Sun. There were also guards Sydney Colson (torn ACL) and Aari McDonald (foot fracture) who both suffered season-ending injuries. That is three guards all out for the year, so the Fever are borderline desperate to get their superstar back if they can hold playoff position.Clark, who also suffered a bone bruise in her left ankle on Aug. 7, has played just 13 games this year for the Fever. She dealt with a quad strain earlier in the year before suffering her current ailments.Clark averaged 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and five rebounds over 31.1 minutes per game in those which she played this season.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Vice President JD Vance pushed back on NBCs "Meet the Press" host Kristen Welkers question on Sunday about Texas Republicans redrawing the congressional map for their state, arguing that they are attempting to level the playing field.The question came after the Texas Senate passed a new GOP-favored congressional map on Friday which made five districts more Republican-friendly ahead of the 2026 midterm elections."So they expanded the map for Republicans in their state," Welker began. "If President Trump's agenda is so popular, why do Republicans need to add additional seats to the map?"GOV. GREG ABBOTT THREATENS TO REDISTRICT 8 SEATS FOR GOP IF DEM LAWMAKERS DON'T RETURN TO TEXAS"Well, first of all, Kristen, you have to ask yourself, Why have Democrats gerrymandered their states aggressively over the past ten to 20 years?" Vance responded. "If you look, for example, at the popular vote in a lot of these states, and Massachusetts, where 32% of the residents of Massachusetts voted for Republicans, zero Republican federal representatives."He continued, "So we're not trying to sort of all we're doing, frankly, is trying to make the situation a little bit more fair on a national scale. The Democrats have gerrymandered their states really aggressively. We think there are opportunities to push back against that. And that's really all we're doing."Several Democratic leaders, such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom, quickly began efforts to redistrict their states to counterbalance Texas Republican gains. On Thursday, Newsom signed into law three bills to help overturn the preexisting congressional maps and the states independent redistricting commission in favor of a map drawn up by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.JD VANCE REVEALS 'IMPORTANT LESSON' HE WANTS AMERICANS TO TAKE AWAY FROM DCThe bills allow California voters to decide on the matter in a special election on Nov. 4.Vance called on Republicans to counter Democratic gerrymandering and to "rebalance the scales" and"push back against a very unfair system" earlier this month."The only real way to fight back against it is for us to redistrict, in some ways, as aggressively as these hard-blue states have done," Vance told Maria Bartiromo on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures."He was unconcerned by Newsom and other Democrats, claiming that there wasn't much more gerrymandering they could do.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"There's just not a whole lot of juice left out of that lemon," he said. "The Democrats have already gone as far as they possibly can."

The plant fire was quickly extinguished. A transformer was damaged, but radiation levels remained normal, and no injuries were reported.The U.N. nuclear watchdog said it was aware of media reports of a transformer fire "due to military activity," but had not independently confirmed them.RUSSIAN DRONE CRASHES IN POLISH FIELD AS WARSAW PROTESTS AIRSPACE VIOLATION AND PLANS FORMAL COMPLAINTDirector General Rafael Mariano Grossi said "every nuclear facility must be protected at all times."A fire also broke out at the port of Ust-Luga in Russias Leningrad region, home to a major fuel export terminal.The regional governor said about 10 Ukrainian drones were shot down in the area and that debris sparked the blaze.BATTLE OVER THE BLACK SEA: RUSSIA, UKRAINE STRIKE TOP RESORT CITIESRussias Defense Ministry said air defenses intercepted 95 Ukrainian drones over Russian territory Sunday.Ukraines air force said Russia launched 72 drones and decoys and a cruise missile overnight; 48 drones were shot down or jammed.President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke in a video from Kyivs Independence Square.NATO JETS SCRAMBLED AMID RUSSIA'S LARGEST DRONE ATTACK ON UKRAINE"We are building a Ukraine that will have enough strength and power to live in security and peace," he said, calling for a "just peace.""What our future will be is up to us alone," he said, while acknowledging the U.S.-Russia summit in Alaska earlier this month, which many worried would sideline Ukrainian interests."And the world knows this.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Salvadorian migrant whose months-long court fight has emerged as a flashpoint of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, will report Monday to the ICE Field Office in Baltimore, where he is expected to be arrested and deported to Uganda, his attorneys told Fox News Digital.The news caps an extraordinary, six-month court battle over Abrego Garcia's legal status that has spanned two continents, touched off dozens of lengthy court hearings, and involved three federal judges in Tennessee and Maryland.The Department of Justice has said Abrego Garcia is a member of the El Salvadoran gang MS-13, was caught in Tennessee allegedly driving a van full of illegal migrants, and has been accused by his wife of beating her. His supporters have painted him as a hard-working father who has been vilified by the Trump administration, and have pointed to a judge's ruling that said the government failed to provide sufficient evidence that he is a member of MS-13.Now, Abrego Garcia is slated for deportation to a third country, after an immigration judge ruled he could not be sent back to his homeland because he faced danger there.The latest development in Abrego Garcia's saga comes days after the Justice Department offered to send him to Costa Rica on Thursday, in exchange for a guilty plea to criminal charges of human smuggling, brought against him while he was still detained in Salvadorian custody earlier this year.Abrego Garcia declined the offer.ABREGO GARCIA RELEASED FROM JAIL, WILL RETURN TO MARYLAND TO AWAIT TRIALHis attorneys used the spurned offer to bolster their motion to dismiss the criminal case against him on the grounds of "vindictive" and selective prosecution by the Trump administration.They said the plea deal offer shows that the Trump administration had embarked on a pressure campaign against their client, and one in which several government agencies the Justice Department, ICE, and DHS were "using their collective powers to force" their client to choose between the plea and Costa Rica, or not accepting the offer, and what they termed the "rendition to Uganda.""In conjunction with that proposal, the government produced a letter to Mr. Abregos counsel confirming that he could live freely in that country, which would accept him as a refugee or grant him residency status, and promise not to refoul him to El Salvador," his attorneys said in a court filing on Saturday.It was not until after he rejected that offer, they said, that the government "informed Mr. Abrego that he has until first thing Monday morning precisely when he must report to ICEs Baltimore Field Office to accept a plea in exchange for deportation to Costa Rica, or else that offer will be off the table forever."JUDGE PRESSES TRUMP DOJ ON ABREGO GARCIA DEPORTATION; ANSWERS LEAVE COURTROOM IN STUNNED SILENCEThe plans were detailed in several documents, including the official notice sent Friday to Abrego Garcia's attorneys by ICE's Office of the Principal Legal Adviser (OPLA), and in the Saturday court filing from his attorneys.Abrego Garcia entered the U.S. illegally when he was a teenager, and lived in Maryland with his wife and children, prior to his removal to El Salvador in March. His family sued, saying his deportation to El Salvador violated a 2019 court order blocking him from being sent back to his home country.After months of legal wrangling, the Trump administration in May returned Abrego Garcia to the U.S., where he was slapped with charges of human smuggling; an investigation that originated from a 2022 traffic stop in Tennessee and which began in April.ABREGO GARCIA LAWYERS FILE MOTION TO DISMISS CRIMINAL CHARGES FROM TRUMP DOJShould ICE immediately arrest Abrego Garcia, their actions would likely defy a court order handed down by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis, an Obama appointee, which sought to preclude ICE from immediately arresting Abrego Garcia upon return.Fox News reported Friday that DHS and ICE officials, frustrated with Abrego Grcia's release, had been consulting with the Justice Department and ICE's lawyers about how to go about removing him from the U.S.Lawyers for the Justice Department vehemently opposed Abrego Garcia's release from custody, arguing at an evidentiary hearing earlier this year that he was a danger to the community and describing him as a member of MS-13 a claim that was rejected by a judge in a ruling earlier this year.Even so, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem blasted Abrego Garcia's release from criminal custody on Friday, saying in a statement that the Trump administration "will not stop fighting till this Salvadoran man faces justice and is OUT of our country.""Kilmar is being made an example of, a martyr for having the courage to stand up to this administrations illegal deportation practices," Lydia Walther-Rodriguez, CASAs Chief of Organizing and Leadership, said in a statement.

President Trump went on a late-night attack against NBC and ABC News on Sunday, deriding them for what, in his view, was "biased" coverage and said he would be in favor of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) revoking their licenses.The Republican president said the news outlets had given him negative coverage on "97%" of stories.It wasnt clear from where Trump was citing the "97%" figure. A study released earlier this year by the conservative media watchdog group, Media Research Center (MRC), found that coverage of the presidents first 100 days in office was "92% negative.""IF THAT IS THE CASE," Trump wrote in his characteristic use of all caps, "THEY ARE SIMPLY AN ARM OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND SHOULD, ACCORDING TO MANY HAVE THEIR LICENSES REVOKED."BROADCAST BIAS: NETWORKS SNOOZE AS TOP BIDEN AIDES TAKE THE FIFTH ON BIDEN-DECLINE SCANDALTrump said he would be "totally in favor" of the move because according to him these outlets are "so biased and untruthful, an actual threat to our Democracy."The president followed up with another post attacking both outlets as "FAKE NEWS" and "two of the absolute worst and most biased networks anywhere in the world."TRUMP TAKES AIM AT CNN AND NEW YORK TIMES OVER IRAN STRIKE COVERAGE, BUT JOURNALISTS ARE SHRUGGINGTrump questioned why both entities arent "paying Millions of Dollars a year in LICENSE FEES.""They should lose their Licenses for their unfair coverage of Republicans and/or Conservatives, but at a minimum, they should pay up BIG for having the privilege of using the most valuable airwaves anywhere at anytime!!!" Trump wrote. "Crooked journalism should not be rewarded, it should be terminated!!!"Fox News Digital has reached out to both ABC and NBC News for a response to Trumps posts.Being national networks, ABC and NBC News do not hold FCC licenses for news content but provide programming for local affiliates across the country which are regulated by the FCC and require licensing to operate in the U.S.TRUMP THRASHES CNN AS GUTLESS LOSERS FOR COVERAGE OF US STRIKES ON IRANTV stations pay fees and annual regulatory fees based on station type and market, while cable outlets pay their own regulatory fees. Only congress has the authority to impose and collect such fees, which are deposited in the U.S. Treasury.Any move to revoke licenses based on real or perceived news bias would run afoul of First Amendment protections. Similar attempts in the past have been struck down by the courts.This is not the first time Trump has attacked broadcast outlets or threatened to strip their licenses. Last year, Trump settled a defamation suit against ABC for $15 million, and he famously hosted "The Apprentice" on NBC before entering the world of politics.And earlier this year, Paramount Global and CBS agreed to pay out a settlement over the presidents election interference lawsuit against the network.Fox News Digitals Brian Flood contributed to this report.

President Donald Trump on Sunday blasted the Senates "blue slip" tradition, calling it an unconstitutional affront to his appointment power and alleging that his rights have "been completely taken away from me in States that have just one Democrat United States Senator."The president is referring to his ability to nominate judges and U.S. Attorneys, accusing the custom of essentially giving Democrats veto power over his nominees.U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley is defending the century-old process, saying he views it as a norm worth preserving for balance and state input.GRASSLEY REBUKES TRUMP'S PRESSURE TO 'HAVE THE COURAGE' TO SPEED UP NOMINATIONSBlue slips are a long-standing tradition but are not a codified law, and constitutionally he is only allowed the power to nominate while the Senate ultimately approves or rejects that nomination.Trumps frustration with the Senates blue slip practice isnt new. In July, Trump called the tradition a "hoax" and a "scam" used by Democrats to block his nominees and demanded that Grassley stop supporting them."Put simply, the president of the United States will never be permitted to appoint the person of his choice because of an ancient, and probably unconstitutional, CUSTOM," his post said.ALINA HABBA SAYS SHE 'WON'T BE INTIMIDATED' AFTER SENATE CUSTOM HINDERS US ATTORNEY NOMINATIONIn his first term, Trump was able to appoint 234 federal judges, including three Supreme Court justices and 54 appellate court judges. However, this term he has only confirmed five in the first seven months.Trump went on in his post to suggest he was willing to apply pressure and that Grassley shouldn't acquiesce."The only candidates that I can get confirmed for these most important positions are, believe it or not, Democrats! Chuck Grassley should allow strong Republican candidates to ascend to these very vital and powerful roles, and tell the Democrats, as they often tell us, to go to HELL!" he wrote.Trump's comments come after U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann recently ruled that Alina Habba had been unlawfully serving as acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey beyond the 120-day limit allowed for temporary prosecutors and that the administration had been using an unusual maneuver to keep her in the role.Trumps pressure campaign could shape how many judicial vacancies he can realistically fill in the months ahead.
