Pressurization issue has been detected. Teams are working the issue and continuing prop load.
If this can't be solved, this will become a WDR (Wet Dress Rehearsal) test.

A pressurant valve appears to be frozen, so unless it starts operating soon, no launch today

Learned a lot today, now offloading propellant, retrying in a few days …

Editor's notes:
• Due to the propellants needed to refill the tank farms, the launch is expected 2-3 days from now.
• 150 tankers are expected.
• Launch attempt is now NET Wednesday Apr 19.
• Coverage will still be provided.

[Launch is reportedly no longer happening on Apr 20. Next opportunity is Apr 21 but there is no official confirmation of the change or next target. However, the flight restriction for Thursday has been lifted.]
April 20 is definitely out for the Starship flight test, per two sources. No confirmation on whether it slips just a day or further. For more details I will refer you to SpaceX’s social channels.
